Instructions on how to tie a tie with the “Half Windsor” knot
- Throw the inside of the tie over yourself, with the seams inward. The wide end is on the right and the narrow end is on the left. The tip of the small end should be extended to a level just above your navel (this value may vary depending on your height, length and thickness of the tie). We will work with the wide end of the tie.
- Position the wide end with the bumpy end, forming a crosshair.
- Wrap the narrow side with the wide end of the tie from left to right.
- Pull the wide end towards the neck and thread over the collar (tie) that has formed.
- Move the wide end of the tie to the left and pull gently with your hand.
- Form the front of the tie knot by sliding the wide end horizontally from left to right.
- Pull the wide end towards the neck again and pass through the collar (tie) that has formed.
- Pass through the loop on the front of the knot that you formed in step 6.
- Pull the wide end downward, tightening slightly. Adjust the resulting knot so that it fits evenly into your collar.
