Do you know how to tie a tie? (1 Viewer)

[jasonjuicer]

This last weekend, I found myself teaching my friend how to tie a tie. It just got me wondering how many people know how to tie a tie. If you do know how to tie a tie, what is your favorite knot?

My favorite knot is the windsor knot.

Yeh. 6 years of highschool wearing a tie makes you quite proficient. I rock a half or full windsor depending on how thick the tie is.

 

[katietheskatie]

yep .. six years of tie wearing private schools ftmfl

windsor knot?

I just like the double one... because it always turns out looking nice.

I hope you don't mean the one where you just wrap it round twice and then go under and down through. That's the ugliest, worst knot ever.

 

[scarybunny]

Yes. At least I used to. Daddy taught me. He also taught me how to tie a bow tie, but I don't think I remember how to do that.

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

No. But I never wear ties and if I do I get someone to show me how and then promptly forget.

 

[Rafy]

Yes. With nearly a decade wearing them at school it was impossible not to know.

Yeah I learnt how to tie a full windsor when I was in infant school.
Had to wear ties from K-10 [both public].. Would of been K-12 if my year wasn't the first year to change the winter uniform =]

I had to teach my partner how to tie a tie (at the age of 22), because we both went ot a crappo public school and never had the need.

Although I've been going to a high school that required us to wear ties, I never learnt how to do it properly.

I can tie ties. nothing fancy, but I can do it. Tie wearing in winter since kindy has taught me that much at least.

Yes I can top of the class for me.
Windsor knot is best, should be made the only legal form!

I use a four-in-hand for everyday, looks less pretentious. I don't like the windsor unless I'm going to court or powerdressing. The ediety and cross knots are good for that extra pizzaz at parties.

 

[Enteebee]

Yes.

 

[Legham]

I've been wearing ties to work for the last 8 or 9 months and i still don't know how

I just get the other guys to tie it up then i pull it over my head lol.

If the tie is a thick a full windsor looks silly, also if it's too short. That's what half windsors are for.

windsor knots are pretty but way too much effort so i always used the heaps easy one where you just go around then through. ugly though

That's the same one, AKA school-boy knot. It's particularly disgusting and should be avoided IMO.

Yeah I had that trouble doing up my brother's tie, I did a full windsor and it looked horrible but I fixed it with a half windsor
