Men, how many different types of tie knot can you make?

[SSSnail]

How many are there? I don't even know what half of them are called.

Full Windor, half Winsor, stripper ties... meh...

Do we have tie knots expert here?

Do show.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_85_Ways_to_Tie_a_Tie

'The 85 Ways to Tie a Tie' is about the history of the knotted neckcloth, the modern necktie, and how to tie both. It is based on two mathematics papers published by the same authors in the journal Nature[1] and Physica D.[citation needed] The authors prove there are exactly 85 ways of tying a necktie and enumerate them. Of the 85, 13 stand out: the four traditional knots (the four-in-hand, Pratt, half-Windsor and Windsor) and nine others, which the authors name.

Two. Full and half windsor. Never needed anything else.

Funny thing is I can't actually remember or show how to tie a tie. It's just natural now.

 

[Daishiki]

Just full and half windsor, depending on the tie.

 

[kranky]

I only know one, but I don't know what it's called.

I only know one, and I am barely proficient at it I can't say I wear a tie more than once or maybe twice a year.

[teclis1023]

I know Full and Half Windsor, as well as the standard one (not sure of name)

I really only ever use the half-windsor.

I consider my ability to tie rope knots more important anyways. I guess I am blue collar, heh.

 

[mordantmonkey]

half, full, double, four in hand, and a bow-tie.
i think the four in hand is the same as one of the others but i can't remember which.

 

[I Saw OJ]

Just one, and quite poorly I might add.

I'm a frayed knot.

 

[Sketcher]

The a half-windsor can be used with nearly any shirt that requires a tie but the type of knot is more a function regarding the type of shirt collar than the tie itself.

Here's some good info: Tie a Tie

I've tied each at one time or another but typically use a half-windsor or pratt.

Vids of each type
