Cravat as worn in the 19th century The cravat () is a neckband, the forerunner of the modern tailored necktie and bow tie, originating from a style worn by members of the 17th century military unit known as the Croats. From the end of the sixteenth century, the term band applied to any long-strip neckcloth that was not a ruff. The ruff, a starched, pleated white linen strip, originated earlier in the sixteenth century as a neckcloth (readily changeable, to minimize the soiling of a doublet), as a bib, or as a napkin. A band could be either a plain, attached shirt collar or a detachable "falling band" that draped over the doublet collar.

Bruni’s hair is dusted with powder, which can also be seen on the collar and shoulders of his coat. This is an example of Davin-Mirvault’s “literal-minded all-inclusiveness” that causes issues in some of her other works. The portrait was kept in the collection of Bruni’s descendants until 1952, however, they believed it had been painted by David.

The black servant in the painting reveals Hogarth's careful study of black and white forms. His positioning, clothes and stance echoes Graham's with his pipe, but they face different directions so as to present different profiles. The red of Graham's cape connects with the colour of the servant's neckcloth, while their similar caps, coats and waistcoats heighten the sense of connection, with the servant given equally colourful and variegated clothing. The facial features and textures are similar, showing off their youthfulness, while Graham's fair skin and the servant's dark skin complement and contrast each other.

In 1724, a white planter named William Brodrick insulted Williams, calling him a "black dog", whereupon Williams reacted by calling Brodrick a "white dog" several times. Brodrick punched Williams, as a result of which his "mouth was bloody", but Williams retaliated, after which Brodrick's "shirt and neckcloth had been tore (sic) by the said Williams". Williams insisted that since he was a free black man, he could not be tried for assault, as would have been the case with black slaves who hit a white man, because he was defending himself.

The 85 Ways to Tie a Tie is a book by Thomas Fink and Yong Mao about the history of the knotted neckcloth, the modern necktie, and how to tie both. It is based on two mathematics papers published by the authors in Nature and Physica A while they were research fellows at Cambridge University’s Cavendish Laboratory. The authors prove that, assuming both the tie and the wearer to be of typical size, there are exactly 85 ways of tying a necktie using the conventional method of wrapping the wide end of the tie around the narrow end. They describe each and highlight those that they determine to be historically notable or æsthetically pleasing.

Details varied with each production; some b'hoys were named Sykesy or Syksey, others were butcher's apprentices. Haswell gives a slightly different description of the archetype: > a high beaver hat, with the nap divided and brushed in opposite directions, > the hair on the back of his head clipped close, while in front the temple > locks were curled and greased (hence, the well-known term of 'soap-locks' to > the wearer of them), a smooth face, a gaudy silk neckcloth, black frockcoat, > full pantaloons, turned up at the bottom over heavy boots designed for > service in slaughter houses and at fires; and when thus equipped, with his > girl hanging on his arm, it would have been very injudicious to offer him > any obstruction or to utter an offensive remark.Haswell, Charles H. (1896). > Reminiscences of an Octogenarian of the City of New York.
