In a posting in a military magazine I read that the focale was used until late middle ages by troops wearing chain mail. In Pertros Bouas condota in the Venetian service 1490- 1505 it was Kroat troops who used it with their chain mail. Their "Kravata" or "Chravata" was something of unit pride and the author was suggesting that this is the origin of neck tie and its name in Italia, Spanish and French.
Kind regards
