A tightly-tied, obnoxiously symmetrical Half-Windsor (with the rare FIH thrown in). With a dimple.

FIH

It's starting to drive me up the walls when people comment on the FIH or Half-Windsor I sometimes use with a spread collar. "You know you should wear a thicker tie-knot with that collar?"

Almost always FIH; I usually wear button down shirts, but when I wear a spread collar I will sometimes wear a half-windsor. I also just started experimenting with the Prince Albert, will probably wear that more often now.

Isn't the Prince Albert the same as the Italian FIH withe the exception being that the PA uses the outer loop as opposed to the inner loop? Or am I missing something?

I guess whatever the Windsor Knot in reverse tying a tie is my fave, though i'm not fussy but like a little bit loose - like dimped on the knot.
