A last note on cravats. According to the research I have done to this point, there is no such thing as a pointy-end cravat during the Victorian era. The appearance of a pointy end indicates the neckcloth is actually a scarf or neckerchief. Pointy ends seem to have come later in tie history.
As evidence I present: "In Year 1924 the modern necktie got its present appearance because Jesse Langsdorf in New York patented the method by which the vast majority of ties are manufactured still today."--Tieroom. "[He] developed the idea of cutting the fabric of the tie on the bias and sewing it in three segments. He also added the 'slip-stitch,' which provided elasticity and allowed the tie to return to its former shape after wear."--Ben Silver Corporation
From this, I infer (possibly incorrectly) that the pointy end of did not come into existence until the 1920s, to coincide with the use of the bias, or angled, cutting of the fabric.
