I started youtubing and googling around tonight to find out how to nicely tie a scarf, and stumbled across these cool knots for ties.

Ediety Knot:


Eldredge Knot:


I've been wearing a standard Windsor my whole life, so I was pretty pumped to find these and I'll be using them every now and then to spice things up.

Share any unique tie knots you know of. I'd wear a different one every day if enough exist.

OH SHIT! I was hoping this thread would be epic from the title and was not disappointed.

I'm boring, I just use the standard double knot(shitty description) so that my tie is symmetrical.

Edit: I use the double Windsor knot apparently.

I use a single windsor if I ever have to wear a tie.

I'll try that Ediety knot, it looks pretty easy to do.

I avoid ties like the plague these days but 20 years ago I would have probably learned both just for the hell of it. I am so lazy about ties these days that I do the knot once and never undo them completely until the next wearing; I get away with it because it will be twice a year or so.
I wish they would wash too (still tied) but they don't come out right (tried).

That last knot is cool but it will probably ruin the tie eventually.

I use several different knots depending on the tie and type of collar I'm using. Wide collar and/or long tie = thick knot like double windsor, narrow collar and/or short tie, use something like a four-in-hand.

Okay, so this is pretty cool. Apparently a lot of these knots are inspired by the second matrix movie (believe it or not) and the character "The Merovingian".

Here is a close up of the tie that inspired the Ediety (see OP):

Here is a video showing how to tie it:


Later in the same movie, The Merovingian is seen again with a crazy double knoted tie:

I can't find a video with a how to for this second one. Big ups to the person who can find one!

I tried all of them posted in this thread, I think the first one is the best, it's diffrent yet not so different so you can actually use it in formal-ish occations for extra kick. The matrix one is too crazy, so you'd only get to use it for fun.

Well you not counting the amys.

I only do the Windsor Knot which works classics never fade.

Also because if i learn more then one i'll probably get them confused, end up overlapping steps and make something strange.
I have ass for brains so,
even when I shit I'm droping knowledge.

The second one can be done with most small/medium sized knots just by looping the narrow end around the base of the knot once and pulling it through the resulting hole...~??

I use the Ediety always. The Eldredge looked brutal but I watched the vid and don't like how he muffles away the ends and how it isn't adjustable. Maybe with a longer tie some improvements can be made but meh.

One method to duplicate the Merovingian's knot from Revolutions is to first tie a normal Windsor knot. Then with the small blade of the tie from behind, wrap it loosely around the base of the knot twice, tucking it through the loop you've just made down the back again.

I googled this.
I've been around since it all started, and it feels good
