Tie the 'Windsor' knot


The Windsor knot, also (wrongly) known as the "Double-Windsor" (a non-existing enormous 16-move knot), is the most well known knot in the world.The Windsor is a large, symmetrical, self-releasing triangular knot. The tie was named by Americans in the 1920-30's after the Duke of Windsor. The Duke was known for his fondness of large triangular tie knots, but didn't in fact invent this particular knot. His secret was a specially tailored tiewith an extra thickness of material.

There are four tie-versions that result in the "Windsor" knot; two self releasing, and two non-self releasing. This version filmed here is considered as the original (self releasing) version.

The video is to be viewed as if you were looking in a mirror.

The entire Republican party could have used this video, instead of outfitting themselves in the dated looking 4-in-hand knot...just shows you how self-absorbed and insular the GOP is these days. The Republicans look like churchgoers from a southern baptist church in 1992.
