An excellent video, thank you. I have struggled to get this elegant looking knot right for some time, but no longer thanks to practicising while watching this film. Thank you, my compliments.
Gentleman's Gazette Could you please tell me the length of the tie you are using? I am only 5'8" but when I tie a half Windsor the long end falls at my belt buckle, but the short end is so short that it is not long enough to go through the loop in the back of the tie. What am I doing wrong?
I may have to try dimpling my tie. Saw it on the previous full Windsor tie style too. I have done my all to have a perfect curve or come for lack of a better word. I learned many different ways growing up since we wore uniforms & mostly so in secondary boarding school. Half Windsor is the closest & works for any tie making it tighter or looser to get the right size. Thank you always for your experience.
Sir he already taught me this knot....but generally i wear 4 in hand because of my face shape but in formal occasions i wear half windsor or a double knot :) and i m not able to tie this in that situation....so i take help of youtube & practice it :)
My favorite tie knot. It is symetrical but not too big like full windsor. So basically it has all of the benefits of the 4 in hand and full windsor knot without their flaws.
I love the attention to detail you display on your videos. However I watched the Thomas Pink video on the same knot. Same knot name different knot? Once again you videos have been excellent help in my personal life as I learn more about dressing well.
can someone help? when i tie the knot, the knot is the same size on the top and bottom. I have tried pinching the bottom and sliding the knot up, with no luck...
Gentleman's Gazette I was just poking fun, I really love your videos. Could you perhaps make some videos on bottoms? You've mentioned some in your polo videos but I haven't seen a vid dedicated to just pants yet.
My father taught me to tie a Windsor when I was 12. I'm 69 now, and this is the first time I've learned to tie a half-Windsor. Looks good. Feels weird.
How far down your body should the very bottom of the tie end up when finished? Should the bottom of the tie be above your belt level, reach your belt level, or go down a bit below belt level? thanks
And if you a short guy with a large head and medium upper body…only the legs are shorter? I prefer small ties with a half windsor knot for my shark collars and a 4inhand knot for all kent collars
His way makes the most ergonomic sense since most people are right hand dominant. Left hand ends up spending most of its time simply holding the narrowed inside end of the tie and the right hand does the bulk of the actual work. Clear as mud??? :-)
I seriously hate that collar at 0.05 and I bet most other people do too. I have a 19" neck so that collar would look particularly absurd, even more than it does on you.
LiqCharles The problem with mirroring is that some most people don't expect that. I guess we could mirror our videos and repost them if that was of any help to some... Have you tried tying it that way. It works very well.
i guess you have a point, its just that alpha m did it in one his videos and i just enjoyed it and kept coming back to that particular video to tie the knot. i would appreciate it even more if there was an alternate video that has it mirrored. :) still a great video though.
Ich finde es faszinierend, dass in diesem Video von 2015 Ihr Akzent weniger ausgeprägt bzw. amerikanischer klingt, als in den neueren Videos. Haben Sie dazwischen wieder mehr Zeit in Deutschland verbracht oder wie könnte man das erklären? Besonders am Anfang des Videos finde ich es auffällig. Vielleicht liegt es auch daran, dass Sie etwas weniger akzentuiert oder betont sprechen, als bei aktuellen Videos. Im Übrigen finde ich Ihre Tutorials zu Pflege etc. sehr lehrreich!
Thanks, I always say getting a dimple, first takes patience. Depending on the material and quality of your Neckwear will depend on your strategy for acquiring a nice dimple. Never go for perfection, it doesn't exist. Be satisfied and be yourself.
Decided to try the knot for the first time today. I gotta say, the knot itself looks worse than other alternatives, but it creates an excellent dimple so I'm gonna keep it for today
Gentlemen you have the best channel. Sir i have a question please help me with this. Which is the proper starting position of the wide end of the tie, right or left? It depends on the dominant hand or on the type of the knot?
