Default Tying a necktie...

is fucking hard if you don't do it all of the time. I haven't had to tie a tie in a while...and I got this new tie that I'm taking on my cruise next week and I'm getting frustrated b/c I'm trying to tie a windsor knot but can't get it right yet. Luckily, Google is my friend and I should be able to knock this out within the next hour if I'm lucky.


Any other necktie knots I could try that might be easier, that look just as good?

I like the Pratt Knott the most... here's a step-by-step http://www.tie-a-tie.net/pratt.html

Depending on the style of tie the V or triangle it make looks really clean and even.

yeah, once I get a tie all tied up...I just loosen it to take it off, then re-tighten it when I want to wear it again.


But on the bright side...I finally got that fucker all tied up and it looks decent...I might re-do it to make it look a little tighter looking.
