stitch is against the FIH. he only ties half windsors...which usually look decent, but on this tie it looks odd...knot looks wider than the tie.


Ah, missed that oddity of Stitches. :)

While I believe a lighter shirt would have worked better with Stitches' fit, I still quite like it... the tie is outstanding by itself!

I'm happy you're happy with it, Stitchy. :D

Now, about the FIH. When you say that you suck at it, what does that mean?

I think Mark Cho has a video somewhere if you need it. But, it is the easiest knot to tie - isn't it?

ive done the videos, doesnt seem to work for me for some reason.

when i was like 6 or 8, my dad taught me how to tie a tie. he taught me the half windsor, and for me its the easiest knot in the world. also, that is one of my best childhood, father son, memories. i remember it like it was yesterday.

Nothing wrong with a half windsor as far as I'm concerned. Doesn't look too wide on these pics - just needs to be tightened a bit more

I suppose that's as good a reason as I've seen to tie a half windsor :) Certainly better than a full windsor anyways!

I do agree that this particular knot doesn't look good, but that could just be an off day. I for one tie ****** knots more often than I would like to admit :)

:thumbs-up: :fistbump: overall. One minor criticism may be that the jacket would look better with black buttons, but hey, this is SF after all! :D
