Cravat - Tumblr Posts
I think I'm speaking for all of us in saying that we're happy you're impatient since we got this great work of art out of it!
Let's see—my interpretation is that this is TLEA "Rafal" because of the cravat, how his hair seems better coiffed than usual, the black swan being unambiguously Evil, and how his hand is positioned like he's about to grab someone by the shoulders, like that one moment in which Sophie screams, and Rafal quips, "Glad to know I'm still scary" from behind.
Alternatively, I could interpret this Rafal as Fall Rafal attempting to intimidate Midas.
spooky
its up to interpretation which rafal this is
I think I’m going to try to do a series of different cravat knots!
This is probably my personal favorite, which is called the shell knot or the braided knot. It’s described as “consisting of a double or triple knot” and pinned to the back/side. I’ve interpreted it the best way I could and it seems correct by the results. The fabric for this must be enormous. This cravat is a 44” square and very thin.
The cravat is called the American or similar names such as Independence or Washington. It requires to be well starched and pinned in place. This cravat fabric is probably my favourite. It retains its crispness for hours while being light and extremely comfortable.
Le Blanc makes a joke about it when discussing it, “This style has many admirers here, and also among our friends, the fashionables of the New World, who pride themselves on its name, which they call “Independence;” this title may, to a certain point, be disputed, as the neck is fixed in a kind of vice, which entirely prohibits any very free movements.”
Carvat number 3!
This cravat is called a Cascade. It’s similar to the American but flared out. It was extremely popular in the early regency period but by the late 1820s it had fallen out of high fashion.
When I said "lol maybe Laurens has his cravat up that high to hide hickeys from Hamilton" I was half-joking, but...
ACTUALLY...
And even from the Hamilton musical...
OKAY IM WRITING A FIC ABOUT THIS RIGHT BLOODY NOW.
