Re: [h-cost] early 18th century cravats
Dawn wrote: I'm trying to figure out the dimensions for a late 17th or early 18th century man's cravat. I've got plenty of sources that say they tied around the neck in various ways, but not much else. Does anyone know how wide and how long the cloth is? Would it be wide enough to fold one or more times, or would it be worn as a single thickness? Did they wrap from the back and tie in front like a scarf, or were they wrapped across the throat in front, around the back, and then tied in front? Does anyone know of any photos of extant cravats other than the one in _Cut of Men's Clothes_? (And I think that one is just the lace ends, anyway, it looks far too short to tie around anything, but there's no indication of size or scale, so who can tell.)

But if you mean Cleveland Ohio, then you might also like to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Beside the music and artist exhibits they have an entire hall dedicated to the customs the bands and artists wore on and off stage. Historical if you consider the 60's - 90's historical.
