How to tie a Half Windsor
The medium knot, triangular, half the size of the Windsor, works best with wider to moderate width ties of light to medium fabrics and moderate to regular spread collars. Uses more tie in the knotting process than the Four-in-Hand, but less than the Windsor.
How to tie a Windsor Knot
The largest knot, triangular, works best with narrower ties of lighter fabrics and full, wide spread collars. This knot will eliminate gaps between the collar and the tie, which is a common problem associated with spread collars.
How to tie a Four in Hand
The smallest knot, long and narrow, works best with wide ties of heavy fabrics and tab, pin, buttondown and regular spread collars. This knot leaves a slightly longer tie, and is ideal for a taller gentleman who requires a longer length.
Tying the Bow tie
Bow Tie for casual to formal attire, available in numerous shapes and fabrics in clip-ons to self-tied styles. The wide butterfly bows work best with longer collars, while the narrower models accommodate buttondown and smaller collar syles. Most people find the bow tie the most challenging knot to tie, but really it is just like tying your shoes.
