The Windsor knot is named after our most famous patron, the Duke of Windsor, as he opted to tie his knot in a manner that was wide and triangular. Best worn with a Windsor collar, the Windsor knot is considered to be more comfortable and relaxed than other knots and will hold a tie firmly in place while still keeping space between the collar and neck. 

 

 

STEP 1

Place the tie around your neck and allow the wide end of the tie to extend approximately 12 inches lower than the narrow end.

 

STEP 2

Cross the wide end of the tie over the narrow end and bring it up through the loop. 

 

 

STEP 3

Carry the wide end down, around and behind the narrow end and up on your right.

 

STEP 4

Then pull it through the loop and around across the narrow end. 

 

 

 

STEP 5

Turn and pass the wide end up through the loop.

 

STEP 6

Finally complete the knot by slipping the wide end through the loop that you created. Tighten the knot and draw it up snuggly to the collar.
