Knot Necktie Patterns

  There are basically four Knot necktie patterns: The Windsor, which comes in the half windsor knot tie, The Pratt and The Four in Hand Knot. And one lesser known pattern, The Shell Knot. The average viewer would not be able to tell the difference between either. The biggest give away is the size of the knot and the uneven-ness of one side of the knot.

The Windsor Knot is the quickest to tie and is the one with the uneven look to the knot. However, with the collar down and hiding some of the knot, it's difficult to see. It makes a full loop around one side of the smallest part of the tie and a half loop around the other.

  

The Pratt knot tie has the most movements to make it. It gives itself away by being the widest knot. It makes a full loop around both sides of the tie before being pulled through and shaped. Knot neck tie patterns are the most frustrating of part of tying a tie. There's been many codes or sayings to help with necktie knots. Something about a rabbit going in and out of the hole, but with a little practice, you can become a pro. Just pick a tying method that's easiest for you and stick with it.

Testimonial

This silk printed ascot by boxed-gifts looks smart and snazzy with my fancier clothes when I dress up for a party or even a somewhat less formal occasion. The way it puffs out makes it appear very classy and that's excellent. This ascot gives a formal and sophisticated look to a man's appearance so I wouldn't advise wearing this with a T-shirt and jeans! Whatever you decide, don't be fooled--this may not be the most popular necktie for gents, but wow, how it looks GREAT when I wear it to a holiday office party in a hotel or if I am going out to dinner in a fancy restaurant.

It's not tied exactly the same way as you would tie a regular tie; but then again it's not that different, either. You'll learn how to tie it without much difficulty.

Although this ascot comes in brown and red, the more conservative choices are blue and black; blue and black will probably go with the widest variety of outfits you could wear. Of course, you might want brown or red depending on the colors of the outfit you want to wear it with.

Give this ascot serious consideration when choosing a necktie, guys! It's very classy, not that hard to tie, and it looks extremely sophisticated without a doubt. It's an excellent alternative to a regular gentleman's tie

I bought this about two months ago. I bought the light blue one, it is a few feet long and at first complicated to tie. But then I stopped being an idiot and go the right method. I wear it with gray and white, tucked in. The reactions are mostly mixed. At my school the more conservative guys will call it gay, almost all women will like it, and the more normal guys will appreciate the class. I wear it tucked in and I think it looks awesome. The material is pretty light, perfect for summer or spring. To be honest, the first I wore it, i was embarrassed, but don't be. You'll stand out to others and really make an impression! I am right about to buy my second as well.

I love this look, the women love it and men hate on you. If you don't mind standing out and looking good this is for you, if not stick with a tie. Great quality and gets a lot of attention.
