Knots for ties

I'm sure most of us don't prefer wearing ties but when you do what's your preferred knot?

Usually I go with a Windsor knot but today I'm trying a Rose Bud knot in preparationfor a wedding. Doesn't look bad, would look much better on a solid color tie. Just like a Windsor knot but a couple extra loops

Rose Bud Knot

Ummm, looks back asswards?

I usually go with the windsor knot, too. But for weddings I like to go with the Vidalia knot. Usually takes a few tries to get it right.

I know just one, the pratt. Two if you count the bow tie.

NO

HA! . . . had a few buddies that thought this would have been a better knot . . . after they said "I Do"

Clip on.

Kinda double Windsor. Looks better on a solid color tie


The validala knot looks awesome too. I've never heard of it.

Not the best color choice there~ LOL

I cannot recall ever wearing a tie...

Windsor here

you know I can tie more than a dozen knots from memory and not one knot for a tie .

I own one tie , the guy at the store tied it , I just keep it on the hanger , hate wearing it

I find if you really have to wear a tie there is a funeral director there to tie it for you. that said , bury me in a flannel shirt and my suspenders

Back in the dark ages, when I wore a tie every day, it was always a Windsor. Make that a half dozen times in the last twenty years.

However:

With the recent mask mandates, I've gone back to the bandana I used to use while mowing. Now, its a Buckaroo (square) knot. It is extremely functional. It stays in place all day after pulling the "mask" up and down a couple dozen times a day.

Cowboy put a tie on once....didnt move for two days, he thought he was ground hitched

I do a modified bowline

I don't own a suit or a tie. I used to have to wear one every day when I worked at a grocery, back when I was 17. I have no idea what the knot was, but I could tie it well.

I saw an interesting write up on why Brits added the Tie to their military uniform one time , they taught how to use it as a tourniquet and a few other things

I bought a 3 pack of one hand usable tourniquets and they can keep the neck noose


now the yellow/gold silk scarf of the US Calvary uniform made more sense and I could get behind that

Got a tie here somewhere, has a zipper not wore it in years.

From a guy that grudgingly has to wear a tie, although not at frequently as the old days:

Don't do that knot.

Normal knot or no tie.

^^^ Last tie I had, 20 years ago

Windsor or half Windsor. I have always thought it best to side on classic rather than try the newest fad. 20 years from now the Windsor will still look good in pictures and the others will look gimmicky.

I kinda like the look of that Vidalia.

I have to ask. Why do you have to be on a leash ???

Hahaha right.
Thankfully I got out of having to wear one. Still have to wear a suit
