    How can a toxic wastedump exclusevely filled with trolls, edgelords and questionable porn go downhill? That place’s been as low as possible just about from the start. Can’t believe anyone would voluntarily admit to posting there back here in the civilized world.













  • To please King Louis XIII.

    During the 30 year war, Croatian mercenaries fought alongside the King in battle. To keep their jackets tied they used a piece of cloth which King Louis XIII took a strong liking to. He made this smart scarf a mandatory accessory for royal gatherings. Paying homage to the Croats who introduced this scarf to him, he named it ‘La Cravate’, which is still the French name for the necktie today.

    Over the ages, the cravat has evolved into the modern necktie we wear today. Since their origins in military regiments, they have been a symbol of power and respect. Throughout the 19th century, they swept through the Western world. They were found in most universities, schools, sports clubs and gentlemen clubs.
