The Cravat Regiment in Zadar
-
Published: 16.09.2019.
It is interesting that, as part of their traditional uniform, the Croats, in their own way, tied a colorful scarf around their necks. This beautiful "Croatian style" conquered the picky Parisians of Louis XIV and they adopted a new fashion item, worn “à la Croate” (in the Croatian way). The term soon became the root of the new French word "cravate".
If you are in Zadar, today you will be able to briefly enjoy some historical times.
The Cravat Regiments, consisting of 17 infantrymen and 4 horsemen, will today, at 6.30 pm in Zadar, present its famous Guard shift, dressed in replica uniforms of Croatian soldiers from the Thirty Years War in the 17th century. With its program, it updates the historical beginnings of the tie, a unique Croatian contribution to the world cultural heritage.
