Windsor

This is the first knot that I learned to tie.My father taught me how to tie this knot when I was a boy and for a long time, I thought that this was the only way to knot a tie. It was not until college that I learned that there were other, simpler ways to knot a tie that were intended to yield different knot sizes and knot character. Today, for me the choice of knot is a function of shirt collar, tie length, occasion, and even the rise of one's trousers.
