Examples

“Three days of festivities included regatte and war games.”

“The earliest cravats were simple silk ribbons tied in a bow in front. There was a second kind, the so-called regatte, representing an ordinary knot from which two long ends of ribbon hung down. The most ingenious form was the plastron, a more or less studied and compact interlacement of silk ribbon which filled the whole opening of the coat.”
