  • A necktie knot, larger than the four-in-hand and Pratt knot but smaller than the Windsor knot. Despite its name, it is not half the size of the Windsor knot, and there is no evidence that it is derived from that knot.

  • ...Then it seems someone ought to have been more original when naming this knot.

  • Apu: You are wearing a red and white striped club tie in a half-Windsor knot.

  • This is the knot I use, if anyone is interested!

  • You in a tie, SoG? I've always thought you the casual type. :-)

    Yes, c_b, and for the life of me, I can't see much difference in the ways the half-Windsor, the Windsor, and the four-in-hand knots are tied. Who names these things, anyway? ;-)
