I think it was a napkin or something? And then it grew into an item of clothing? Pretty trippy really.

So cravat is from the french cravate which is derived from croat. This is from croatian mercenaries who wore neck scarves. Cool.

I went through my entire school life without ever learning to tie my tie. I just loosened it and took it off when I came home and put it on the next day.

The earliest ties were so different and so convoluted in their various manners of folding and tieing together that all the knowledge of such items were gathered together in a single tome called the Neckclothnomicon.

Ancient chinese warriors wore tied neckwear and also the ancient Egyptians believed that knots had magic power. I guess Egyptian mummies wore neckties or something.

The lesser known sartorial dynasty known for turning out well styled pharaohs with perfectly ironed shirts. The shirts were made of papyrus and the irons were heated with coal fires. You don't read about them in the history books because of envy.
