Matrix Reloaded Tie / Edeity Knot

This is the tie worn by the Merovingian in the restaurant. I've been wearing this tie since I first saw it in the theatre, its called an Edeity Knot.

Some excellent information about the knot and a written how-to can be found here

This is not a different knot, this is a Full Windsor knot that has been flipped. I have figured out how to tie a true reverse knot, "True Merovingian", and I'm *not* telling :)

@qrrb Yes, I believe I've said that a bunch of times here. It's a little different, but it's basically the same.

Please don't wear this during an interview. 

[frank77dk]

@Pooqua Yeah, that would be crazy, you'd spend more time explaining the knot, than explaining your resume and skills ;)

[veduardov]

Its a backwards full windsor, that's all

[frank77dk]

@veduardov Yep, you got it.

[fuhrerss77]

WRONG!!!!!

[Rascaduanok]

@lalythil Thanks for the explanation. You are indeed correct.

[lalythil]

@Rascaduanok No The Atlantic knot is a different knot all-together. In the Atlantic knot the two diagonal parts do not overlap, whereas in the edeity knot, they do. just search for some images and compare them. :)

[Rascaduanok]

Do you seriously get compliments from women on the knot itself? Any time a woman has ever complimented me on my dress sense it has always been my tie itself, and never the knot!

[Rascaduanok]

Is this not the ‘Atlantic Knot’?

[ReginoldPigeon]

This is great mate, but if you have the thin bit at the front ... the fat bit should be tucked IN your Shirt .... NEVER out!

[coughdrop30]

..........your tie is backwards............

[AlexGCronkleton]

Is this an uncommon traditional knot, or was it invented for the movie?

[TaffyRaphie]

how the fuck can you tell what kind of knot he tied just by looking at it?

Thanks Frank for this excellent tutorial.

I'm a Half and Full Windsor knot fan but I'll add this to my choices.
