Tie the 'Plattsburgh' knot

[Rascaduanok]

Absolutely beautiful knot. Looks like… a wasp?

[robzrx7]

This and the Windsor my favs

[MattiaSanta]

i'm an italian ties lover, you are a really good teacher and i agree with every of yours suggestions. I also literally like the tie shown in your videos.

[DimpleClip]

I use a DimpleClip to get a dimple in my tie ..

[Rascaduanok]

@DimpleClip Surely that damages your tie?

[MrSouthpawtx]

many people have been strangled by someone else pulling their ties, you better not wear one today

[Rascaduanok]

@MrSouthpawtx Really? ‘Many’ people? Name me 16 of them.

[MrSouthpawtx]

you handle that tie very seductive-like, it looks like you are giving it a gentle massage

[MrSouthpawtx]

Hellhammer, you and the guy you are talking to sound like NIles and Frasier

[ogenmatic]

If you are or have a redneck, the Plattsburgh knot is appropriate.

[Villliers]

Which not should I get, if I have a small thin collar?

[AIMERV]

cual de todos estos nudos te parece mas elegante?????? O ESO DEPENDE DEL TIPO DE CORBATA O DE CUELLO, POR QUE LAS HAY GRUESAS Y DELGADAS

[cscamby0410]

Similar to the Windsor but it uses a little less of the tie than the Windsor so its not as bulky and usually tapers down way more than a windsor...so there really are differences in these knots when done right...thanks for great demos!!

[slycoperofer]

Jeg liker :)

[mikolzaby]

le patate fritte mi piacciono molto,me le compri?

[dmcl229999]

woohoo. I always thought that I used the Windsor Knot but no its the Plattsburgh Knott.

Personally I think this looks better than the Windsor. Its a lot more solid but still quite wide and gives the "Windsor" look :-)

Great set of clips by the way. Really useful

[EdwardNygma1]

hey now that is a very nice knot, thanks!

[Y3ahokay]

looks like a reverse windsor... hmmm good vid.. nice series.. A must for the professional gentleman. 5* Kudos... Sub'd

[powerbookg]

When will people figure out that it is more helpful when viewing it from above looking down, rather than head on?

[joeyfiuza]

It depends I prefer this way, the exemple facing me on the video

[constintean]

im going to hang myself with this tie!!!!!!

[billmimms]

@constintean

that comment was totally unexpected. Thanks for the laugh!

[constintean]

lol

your welcome

[DisposableInterloper]

Is it just me, or does this one look damn near identical to the Windsor knot with the collar down, if maybe a bit broader?

[Dontchokeonfear]

well it pretty much is except you start with the seam facing out and with the short bit on top instead

[DisposableInterloper]

That's the thing though. There are dozens of methods for tying what's essentially the same knot. Why not dozens of aesthetically different knots?

[boytumbuling]

what is best for a skinny tie?

[keypointist]

The smartest knot.

[keypointist]

Suits you sir.

[boytumbuling]

is he gay?

[liljubes]

i agree with you gingerkid lol, at least we get mentioned lol

[GINGERKIDinc]

finaly plattsburgh gets some attention...but for a fucking tie???

[maylayfox]

i like simetrical ties, so i love this one.

[niggajrem]

BO!!

[xplorwest]

I'm a tall guy, and probably get a good portion of that height in the torso. I never have bought a extra long tie before, and just worked with regular ones whenever I was shopping. Whenever I tie a windsor or double windsor if you will opposed to the single, the narrow end always becomes cockeyed and sticks out to the left or right. I usually have about 1 to 2 inches left behind the wide end past the knot, but i always feel like I have to fix it to stop the excess from poking out. Tips?

[Lankychris]

I am a tall guy and have the exact same problem. What's worse is that the big and tall ties are often ugly for some reason. What I find helps are 1) Buy a tie that is good quality material, not too thin. 2) Use different knots for different ties, not all knots look good with all ties and 3) Invest in a good tie clip and tie pin. A good tie clip or pin can make all the difference. Also, you can just pin the narrow end discretely to your shirt with a small pin too.

[xplorwest]

my tailor now raises the loop for me, problem solved :)

[kintindelaplaya]

it's like a double windsor, i like!

[trivium4life93]

pretty much a reverse windsor knot, which is often mistaken for a 'double windsor' which is inexsistent

[migsauer67]

non-existent

[trivium4life93]

inexistent*

[ButtPoopWiggle]

Dude... JavaCrammer, I was thinking the exact same thing.

I felt like I was hallucinating or something. Made me open itunes and start something!

[JavaCrammer]

Seriously try adding sound to this. At least a voice to explain or something. Just plain boring without any sound.

[Ikonomi]

This is a great knot. Thomas Fink must be a fan of symmetry.

[VALKIRY2008]

Thank you!!!

[nassijigar]

oh tnx you saved my life =))

[Maddywsk8]

you saved me!! thank you soooo much!! =***

[sambit16]

MY pleasure

[fullerjames12901]

i live in plattsburgh! i never knew there was a knot named after it!

[cleminator]

Thx dude! You just saved the funeral! :-S

[stonerdemon]

This guy is a genuine master. Thanks!! tomorrow I have a job interview!

[1Shiznit]

What's the difference between this and the Windsor? I didn't catch it.

[THOUSANDAlRE]

the only difference I can see is that u start off with the tie facing away from u. all these knots are basically the same with slight variations

[ionootz83]

i thought this will be more complicated seeing that it begins backwards. but is tho only one i am happy with. thank you

[KrayzieTurk]

wich knot should i use for a wide tie. the shirt i'm going to wear has also a wide open collar

[avvi66]

The Windsor knot

[pannelap]

Thank you very much for showing this !!!

[shybuttcute]

It´s about time I learn to tie my ties. So I have decided this one is my favourite. I am atending a wedding this saturday, so I must begin to practice right now ;) Great series of videos! Thanks for sharing your skill

[314DOWORK]

Which of all the knots look the most provacative or stand out the most?

[avvi66]

It's all about which knot goes best to which tie. The knot compliments the tie, not the othe way around.

That said, It's clear that the "Windsor" is the most popular of all knots. Not without reason.

[hoochis]

@avvi66 i thought the half windsor was the most popular.

[UpperBohemian]

All these tie-tying instructions would work better id a two-tone tie was used, perhaps two solid contrasting colors, one on each side, with a shirt also of high contrast.

The best lnot-tying instruction books use this principle.

[maurinquina]

This guy is good every time.Amazing.Thanks for posting this.

[SuperNegrohaha]

That's an awesome knot.. I'ma favorite this

[funkyomama]

this knot helped me look a lot more sexier than the other kinds

[Hellhammer1010]

It looks like the Windsor

[avvi66]

You are actually right, I never thought about it but it is exactly like the Windsor. Unlike the Windsor though, it starts inverted, thus eliminating one turn and making it slightly smaller than the Windsor. Thanks for your input!

[rookoor]

I'm always able to make the seam on the back piece go against my chest, the seam seems to invert itself during the pullthrough for me. I also like that you can pull the top sides out and make this one a nice symetrical triangle, this knot means buissiness!

[LiGoMo]

I also tend to get the back piece turn around. It happens when you pull it to make the knot tighter, so if you don't want it to reverse pull half an inch at a time (or just about 1 cm or so) while holding it as close to the knot as possible.

[tylerlopez]

so, does this have one less loop than the windsor and doesn't self release like the windsor?

[avvi66]

It has one less loop, but is self-releasing.

[pirerman]

finally information that my father should have given my but since im orphan i don´t have to be askin any more and feeling ashamed of it thank you so much!!!!

[bonn1771]

nice

[Rocketman16]

Nice..but the short piece in the back should have the seam against the chest..more importantly..did the Eagle fly yet???

[avvi66]

The eagle has flown and landed. In response to the seam; no, the seam is in the correct position. The Plattsburgh is tied inverted (you save one loop that way). Thanks for commenting though... :-)

[Rocketman16]

I'll have to give it a try! Thanks..

[chaizzilla]

the macdonough eagle?

[RolandOrzabal]

DA PLATTSBURGH WOOOOOO

[Marshmellowrulz]

i love this knot this is going on my faverites!
