I prefer the half windsor knot. The full one is always to tight for me.

But how do I get the dimples??? And is one dimple or two in fashion? I like the double dimples but will settle for learning how to get one perfect one. Thank you!

Just want to send a quick thank you. I've seen countless videos, tutorials, etc... and have been trying to get the Windsor right for years. Thanks to you, I can finally tie a perfect Windsor every time. God Bless.

Thanks so much for this! I've been trying to figure it out for ages, and none of the other online tutorials show it well enough. I went to a few sites that had diagrams, but they didn't explain it well enough. I needed this knot for some school events, and it's really going to be great! Thanks again!

Timmy!

I loved the tie...I have been struggling with this impossible knot forever, but no longer.

Thanks Tim for putting that out there.

Tim
Also liked the pen thing too.

Another reason not to wear a tie - bacteria and other nasty stuff:

"LONDON â€” British hospitals are banning neckties, long sleeves and jewellery in an effort to stop the spread of deadly hospital-born infections, new rules published Monday stipulate.

Hospital dress codes typically urge doctors to look professional, which, for male practitioners, has usually meant wearing a tie. But as concern over hospital-born infections has intensified, doctors are taking a closer look at their clothing.

â€œTies are rarely laundered but worn daily,â€? the Department of Health said in a statement. â€œThey perform no beneficial function in patient care and have been shown to be colonized by pathogens.â€?

The new regulations would mean an end to doctors' traditional white coats, Health Secretary Alan Johnson said. Fake nails, jewellery and watches, which the department warned could harbour germs, are also out."

Tim, thank you so much for this post.

I'm a single mom and my son attends a private school that requires wearing ties on certain days. He's outgrown clip ties and I've never found anyone who could sit down and show me, let alone teach him, how to tie a correct knot.

I let him watch your little video and he had it down perfectly after the second try. He's so excited to show off his new little "life talent" he's just busting with pride. Thank you from him and another thank you from me!

Needs a stronger dimple, tie dimple is key

Very good. I'm tired of the slob look myself and I think a lot of guys are starting to agree and starting to wear suits ans ties again.

Nice. I'm a fan of the double windsor knot, as it creates balance because both corners are even. It's also easier to get the fashionable fold in the tie with the double windsor.

I always thought that was the double Windsor knot...

My high school required both guys and gals to wear ties, so I'm actually pretty swell at it!

"Assuming prices remained the same, would you rather... Make $50,000 in a world where everyone makes $25,000 / Make $100,000 in a world where everyone makes $200,000"

What kind of question is that? If everyone makes $200,000, prices wouldn't be the same.

Unless prices were artificially controlled. Does the latter choice imply we'd all be living in a communist state? It's kind of a misleading way to ask the question. (As expected, most people wouldn't.)

Thanks for the video. I'm experiencing "Tie Karma" - I was a programmer for 20 years and recently (Jan!) quit my job and switched careers (to personal productivity consulting). Dressing like a slob has caught up with me, and I now have to (in fact *enjoy*) dressing up for business.

That said, I still find I have to try a few times with most of my ties before I get the length perfect. This is because I have a variety of fabrics and lengths, and each one requires a different starting point.

However, I really liked your tip about getting it square. I like my tie to look perfect, my pant creases to be razor-sharp, etc.
