What's your favorite tie knot? I don't care about practicality or what works best for you...just your favorite.
What's your favorite knot?

When we were young, my brothers and I wore clip-on ties (church, garden parties, ect..), and I didn't begin to learn how to knot my own ties (four-in-hand), until I joined the Army.

This one has saved my life a few times.....
I tie a reverse Windsor.
Any D01 Shavemac knot!!
I used four in hand all through high school (had to wear tie every day), but I use half windsor on pretty much everything these days except for my knit ties, which I still like the four in hand look on.
Amen!
Amen!
I use a half-windsor most of the time. The full windsor looks great, though.
Learnt to tie a tie when I was about 6 for school, and have almost always worn a four in hand. Although it all really depends on the tie and the occasion. Love the shelby with thicker ties, and occasionally wear a half windsor for really formal events. I just can't pull of a full windsor.
four in hand. it's practical and works best for me.
I've yet to figure out how to actually tie this one, but I think the Eldredge looks fantastic, albeit a little ostentatious.
The double four in hand knot.
Blasphemy that Eldredge is. But then I've had my life. You guys wear what you want. It's your turn.

A little ostentatious? That knot is VERY pretentious looking. I'd never wear it.
I learned the four-in-hand first, but I don't like it, as it's lopsided quite often. I lean towards the Pratt/Shelby now.
Pratt all the way
Bow Tie Knot
Suitable name, as it is an Abomination.
It should only be used with a tie like this one...
Tie it for yourself and give it a shot. If you use a solid color tie, and one that is not as shiny as pictures, the knot comes out looking very subtle. The knot pattern is not as obvious as that picture. I wore it for the first time the other night, at the restaurant that I work at a host at, and not a single person noted the knot unless they looked very carefully, which people seem to rarely too. It just looks like a very nice triangular knot from afar.
I like the full Windsor but with a 17" neck that take a long tie. Half Windsor.
