I like the four-in-hand..... first knot I learned how to tie and have pretty much just stuck with it...

 

[dilbert4life]

Double windsor, although sometimes, depending on my mood and tie, I go with the single.

Also, I am sometimes in the mood for one of those super huge european knots; I've had 'em as big as my fist before. There wasn't much tail left. lol

 

[dmr727]

Four-in-hand. Mine always looks a little crooked. Heh!

 

[imac/cheese]

I am a double windsor fan.

 

[GSMiller]

Umm...Whatever style the clip ons have

 

[ucfgrad93]

Windsor for me.

 

[Surely]

Triple Lindy!

 

[Baron58]

Whatever's the first hit when I get frustrated and google "how to tie a tie"

 

[Gray-Wolf]

I picked other, for no knots for me

I HATE any form of Tie as it is a noose for men

 

[mkrishnan]

Erm, it depends on the tie for me. I tie skinny ties Four-in-Hand and generally tie standard width ties Pratt. I should use the Windsor knots more, though.

I am a double windsor fan.

I second that....

 

[EV0LUTION]

I prefer not wearing a tie.

but I use a double windsor

 

[MacNut]

Ok someone explain the differences. Id imagine I would say a windsor. After some research I will say the four in hand knot.

 

[UWSpindoctor]

Dad always used full windsor and that's what he taught me.

 

[hayduke]

I prefer the ties remain in my closet.

FYI, for those wondering: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necktie#Types_of_knots

Full Windsor which has a symmetrical triangle shape for formal events and Half Windsor which has more or a relaxed longer triangle look for whatever.

It depends on width of tie for me. Either a Windsor or Four-in-Hand.

 

[MacNut]

I seem to do the small knot. That is the way I was taught

 

[tobefirst ⚽️]

Looks like I'm in the majority: it's a Windsor knot for me.

Speaking of ties, I've seen in TV shows, movies, and in real life girls tie a tie for a guy who is struggling with it. What's with more girls knowing how to tie ties than men?

 

[JNB]

Half- (or "Single") Windsor. Only style I could manage consistently, although the quality of the tie affects that. I suppose that I should wear bolos as I'm an Arizonan--it is the official state neckwear.

OK, after looking at the diagrams, I realized that after all these years it's been the Four in Hand. My dad taught (and told) me the knot, calling it a Single Windsor. First thing I ever discovered he mislead me about, and I'm going to promptly forget it; I prefer to keep my memories of him as perfect and unrealistic as possible.

Maybe I should go bolo. No knots, no confusion.

 

[Gray-Wolf]

A bolo, I might could handle. Nice West look to it

 

[pachyderm]

four in hand...

 

[j26]

I always thought it was a half windsor I did, but apparently it's the full windsor.


I don't wear them that often anyway.
