Just curious. I know there are different styles. I personally prefer the full Windsor. I think it looks the best. What about you guys?

I go for the full windsor for my ties but one of my friends had a tieception looking tie a couple of days ago for a job interview. It looked like a full windsor in a full windsor in a full windsor. He said it was a real pain to tie it but it really made his look.

That would be the four in hand, Trekkie. The four in hand is overwhelmingly popular in the US. Yes, people do use other knots, but seemingly everyone from the prison janitor to President Obama sport it. It's not very different from the half windsor, which makes me wonder why people even bother with the half windsor. They look almost exactly the same, but the half windsor has more steps that results in a slightly thicker knot. Why bother?

Four in hand is "over once, over twice, up the back, down the front". So simple. There's an extra wrap around with the half windsor that makes no sense.

I wouldn't say I lost sleep, just that I think it is weird.

I'm just saying Trekkie...
As long as I've got my suit and tie
I'mma leave it all on the floor tonight
And you got fixed up to the nines
Let me show you a few things

I always knew Rickles was a famous singer from a boy band in the 90s.
