Neck tie

I was back from work and fantasizing about some of the future plans. One of them was to think differently. I was thinking of tie culture. Every one uses tie and it has become a symbol of being elite. If it is told that tie has originated from the collar belt tied around the pets and slaves to be kept under control by their master, what wuld be the reaction of the people. people would hide their tie. then some would stop wearing it if it is not essential.
i wa sthinking on these term when i started Dan Brown's novel The Lost Symbol. In the first few pages i came across the origin of tie.

It talk that neck tie or cravat it is similar to Fascalia worn by Roman orators to warm their vocal chord. but there is another origin suggested. Croat mercenaries donned neckerchief before they stormed into battle. Similarity was brought with the managers entering board room with necktie
