This podcast conversation is about an 1828 book about cravats, "The Art of Tying the Cravat; Demonstrated in Sixteen Lessons," by H. Le Blanc. It covers everything from the historical origins of the cravat to proper care of the material to sixteen different styles of tying a cravat, along with detailed instructions on how to accomplish each style. The book even includes drawings to illustrate the techniques, and the author argues for the importance of tying the cravat properly for social acceptance and even physical well-being. #vintagefashion #vintagemenswear #historicalfashion
