For the longest time, i've always done a half windsor tie. My step dad taught me how to do it and it has served me well. However, I've been around a lot of guys lately doing full windsors and I am feeling quite inadequate.

Google has given me some poor instructional on doing one. Can you guys point me in the direction of a good how to? I don't know why I struggle so much at figuring out how to tie a proper tie.

Hell I just do a four in hand knot. That's even more inadequate.

I finally have a reason to contribute this image.

Trinity knot had never looked good in real life for me. Might be because I haven't tied it properly. I've done it a few times and gotten very strange looks.

I've never liked half windsors, they look lopsided and sloppy. Cubicle worker.

edit; Basically, you do another "around the tree" (how i learned when young) on the other side so when you do the over wrap, the knot is fuller, more even, and robust.

I used to tie a double windsor all the time when I worked in a jewelry store. Working in labs I was sometimes required to wear a tie so I went with a bow tie. PIA to tie, but looks good if you can get it down.
