HOW TO TIE A
CRAVAT?
Types
of knots - Conventional Tie
The
shape and size of a necktie knot is determined by
the type of knot. Generally, more knot steps result
in a larger knot, but other factors weigh in also,
such as the material of the tie.
There
are four main knots & the simplest, the four-in-hand
knot, may be the most common. The others (in order
of difficulty) are:
* the Pratt knot (the Shelby knot)
* the half-Windsor knot
* the Windsor knot (the double-Windsor)
The
Windsor knot is the thickest knot of the four, since
its tying has the most steps.
Other types include:
|
|
* the Simple Double
* the Plattsburg
* the St. Andrew
* the Oriental
* the Small
* the Kelvin
* the Atlantic
* the Diagonal
* the Persian
* the Nicky |
* the Victoria
* the Cavendish
* the Grantchester
* the Hanover
* the Balthus
* the English
* the Half English
* the Italian
* the Turkish
* the Onasis |

The Windsor knot is named after the Duke of Windsor,
although he did not invent it. The Duke did favor a
voluminous knot.
In the
late 1990s, two researchers, Thomas Fink and Yong
Mao of Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory, used
mathematical modeling to discover that eighty-five
(85) knots are possible with a conventional tie. |
