@TheSilverback07 first I would like to point out that the knot you used in this video was a full windsor knot... secondly the type of tie you used is called a "windsor tie".... and thirdly their are actually hundreds of different knots one can use to tie a windsor tie.

@FanaticStarWars I appreciate your feedback, but the only true statement you made was your third statement. ..." there are actually hundreds of different knots one can use." You ARE correct it is a Full Windsor Knot. But to make it a FAT KNOT you spread the back. Just as there are changes in everything. Someone thought of the idea to come up with a knot that accommodates spread collars. Don't knock them. Secondly, there is NO such thing as a Windsor tie, if so. Give me proof.

@FanaticStarWars: The Windsor knot, also referred to as a Full Windsor or as a Double Windsor to distinguish it from the half-Windsor. The Windsor knot, compared to other methods, produces a wide symmetrical triangular knot. The knot is often thought to be named after the Duke of Windsor (King Edward VIII after his abdication). It was, however, likely invented by his father George V.

@FanaticStarWars: Know the facts and history before you correct please. This is how bad information is spread. I thank you for sharing your point of view. But if its not positive and CORRECT don't share. I don't like my clients to become ignorant because of bad information.

Great Job Sir It Was very simple and in a nutshell that's Everything :)!

This IS a Full-Windsor Knot but by spreading the Knot wider, someone in the fashion industry has found it necessary to call it another name.
