Windsor Knot
The Windsor knot creates a large, formal looking knot. It was supposedly invented by the Duke of Windsor. It is an excellent knot to use with spread collars and guys with long necks. Don’t use this knot with ties made of thick material. Follow the step-by-step instructions below:
 |
1. End “A” should extend about 12 inches below end “B”. Cross end “A” over top of end “B” |
 |
2. Pull end “A” up through loop and then back down |
 |
3. Fold end “A” underneath end “B” and to the left, and back up through the loop again |
 |
4. Bring end “A” across the front of the tie |
 |
5. Bring end “A” up through the loop one last time |
 |
6. Pull end “A” down through the knot in front |
 |
7. Use both hands to tighten the knot and bring up to the collar |
