Which tie technique do you use?

[Mr N8]

Half Windsor seems to work best for me. Full Windsor seems to big for me.

Half Windsor. I like it to be more or less symmetric, but the full is just too damn big most of the time.

I let someone else do it

only had to ware a tie about 4 times in my life. and thats 4 times too many

 

[FoBoT]

i voted half windsor, but in reviewing the drawings, i have actually been using the four in hand knot


i only wear a tie for one of three reasons

weddings
funerals
job interviews

 

[Nitemare]

A half or full windsor, depending on the thickness of the tie

 

[Miramonti]

1/2 windsor.

btw, you ever go to put your tie on, something you do or used to do on a regular basis, and suddenly you FORGOT how to tie it??!! whats up with that??

4-in-hand, easy, fast, and looks good if you get it right. I usually have to re-tie it a few times to get it how I like it, though.

Four in Hand knot... no one even shoed me how... I just figured it out and I guess it is the four in hand knot! lol!

 

[Alphazero]

Four-in-hand, Windsor or half Windsor. Depends on the tie. I only wear a tie once in maybe a year, but it never hurts to know how to tie it properly

 

[Nitemare]

I just pull it on...

Actually new people that used to keep them tied and then just pull them over their head because they did not know how to tie them.

The full windsor is necessary for many of my ties to look right.

It depends on the tie and the shirt.

My father taught me many of these. He's a nutcase.

 

[alkemyst]

It really depends if I have a 4 poster bed to work with or not.

 

[Electric Amish]

4-in-hand.

Nice small knot.

Make that half-windsor, but I agree. I've always hated the four-in-hand, at least, when I do it. The knot always comes out somewhat crooked, and the visible part of the tie going into the knot is always poorly smushed. Best I can describe it.

/me breaks out my ties and plays around

 

[PCMarine]

Half-Windsor...because it's the only way I know how to tie it

 

[Yax]

I do the 4 in a knot, but there were times when I've mistakenly done the half windsor and even the windsor knots. I guess I didn't invent them afterall.

I was never taught the other knots, just the 4 in a knot.

 

[FatJackSprat]

I guess I use the Four In Hand Knot, but I do step two twice. I don't remember if that's how I was taught how to do it. Is there a different name for the one I use or is it just another way to do it?

 

[DrPizza]

Hey.... how about that... no one ever taught me how to tie a tie, and the way I came up with on my own is actually correct. (4 in hand)

 

[mchammer187]

windsor or half windsor

shelby looks neat though i'll have to try it

i always hated the 4 in hand way
