You tie it the way I was taught, which is slightly different than the way most people do it. At 0:22 you move the large side to your left (like me), but most people move it to the right.
Look at other Youtube videos that demonstrate the Windsor knot and you will see what I mean if you don't know already.
Is it you and I who do it backwards or everyone else?
I tie an "inverse" Windsor. Believe it or not, I learned it on the old Rush Limbaugh Show when he was on TV. It looks identical but smaller, and they are really shortening the tie lengths these days (I guess to cave money).
I'll get a video out on this because it really is an awesome way to do it!
Umm, why wouldn't you film this from the perspective of the person tying the tie? Like put the camera over his shoulder looking down? It really makes no sense to film it from this angle, dumb. Let's think here, people....
am ok with the ordinary tie tying, but the windsor, which my son needs to stop himself getting "peanutted" at school, is a difficult one. Thanks for the video. :-)
Thanks im an air cadet and I nearly shit myself not knowing this due to the fact that i have a massive church service in fifteen minutes, thank you!!!!!
@Leycomsucks same! i always thought i was doing it right untill i was told at my last parade night that it was wrong, ive got s church service tommorow, so this has really saved me!
wow much better than the "how to tie a tie" video - like how it's slowed down, did it along with the video, perfect result on the first try! thank you!
i actually sometimes tie the double windsor. i do mean the sixteen move knot. its huge. you just have to start with about 2 or 3 inches of the skinny end hanging down. so the double windsor does exist. lol
@theundergroundkitteh It most certainly does exist. I found it here tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~tmf20/tieknots.shtml and to quote directly The Windsor knot "is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the double-Windsor; no such not(sic) exists, unless it is meant to refer to the ludicrously large 16-move knot, Li Co Ri Lo Ci Ro Li Co Ri Co Li Ro Ci Lo Ri Co T. "
@counkev It's going to be a lot shorter if you don't adjust it beforehand. I don't know about you but I like mine tied about the same length either way--down to my belt line-- so I start the full windsor with much less on the smaller side of the tie.
oh man, why is it that no matter how many times I try (and execute properly) I never get the triangle but some kind of rectangle? /: may it depend on tie thickness?
why are people complaining about the missing sound all the time? are you talking to yourself in front of the mirror in the morning,or is your stereo system in your bathroom?
also,how can you fail with the knot? i just used this video as a mirror and went along with the movements as if those hands in the video were my own and the screen a mirror and voilà looks absolutely perfect and i didn't even look down at my own tie while doing it...and if you still fail: just keep practicing for f***'s sake
@avvi66 I don't need music for this to it's job, I have very bad hand eye coordination and this video got me to tie a perfect knot, I have watched several other videos on youtube, that have left me frustrated, you truly are a master of the craft.
@tech4me thank god i never saw anyone spell it like that. i'm always for: write only in a foreign language if you know what it means and how to spell it! - that said, typos can happen of course ;)
@MrAlbatroz00 Agreed. The entire objective is to put a moderately complex knot under your chin. When you look down, you need to have a larger neck loop, which means less space to work with.
This is crap, I need speech, this silence bullshit is creepy. Why are you not speaking?? Are you really a man..... hmm freaky, anyway I still cant do this stupid knot...........my tie looks like a 3 year old child tied it, please help lol
do you know what kind of tie brian williams wears? it doesn't seem to be one-in-hand since it's a bit too long, but please correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks!
I was actually able to figure it out with this video. My next project, to make a top down video of the windsor knot. From a POV version which should make this a lot easier...
The military advised me to practice this knot, handing me a sheet of paper with the most obscurely drawn how-to diagram ever made. I'm glad this video exists. Thanks!
Thanks dudes, it's nice to finally have learned. I remember my dad trying to teach me to tie a double windsor, I was just too dense. Much better to have a video that you can rewind a billion times.
@JessikahAznBabyy Hehe I admit im totally a "dumbazz" trying to do it learning instructions in a paper. This is awesome and sure, its like to have a "super-hero" Aid. Btw, 2 hours later i have an interview and also i have to give a psychotechnical test. Hope this Knot * that i`ve never wore bfore * give some luck. Thank you Folks for sending us such clear video XD
