How To Tie The Four-in-Hand Knot
The Small knot or Oriental knot is a simple yet lesser known thin tie knot. This knot will not self release, thereby being unfavorable for those who get hot under the collar
.It's a symmetric knot which gets bigger as the tie gets thicker. These tie knots work best with loom ties

The Half Windsor knot is larger than the Four-in-Hand knot and works best with light and medium weight fabrics.
The Half Windsor knot is one of the most well known tie knots in the world, see A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up: What to Wear, When to Wear it, How to Wear it.
It's a symmetric medium sized tie knot with the figure of a perfect triangle. I've embedded a Half Windsor how to video below or you can view it here.

I got a kick out of this. My father taught me the four-in-hand when I was a kid, and I was roundly ostracized for wearing skinny ties as a teen and in college. Whether through osmosis or just a love for the 60s fashions of my parents and culture I grew-up around, I have never felt the need to change.
Good to see you!
Four-in-hand my choice too. I had a request to do this post from a friend of mine who was literally out of control with frustration by the tie knots worn by newscasters. I had never seen a man so upset by a piece of clothing before.
great post and the pictures are a great guide! many thanks! i've been experiencing with skinny ties and i'm not the quickest to learn when it comes to knots, but the four-in-hand guide was really handy. thanks again! ying
Thanks Ying.
I'm glad it helped out.
I've been using some of these knots on scarves as well - the silk tuxedo types - and they look very cool.
Thank you so much for posting this!I love wearing skinny ties even though it's kinda weird to see a teenage girl wearing them and because of you I now know how to tie them and my dad gets more sleep!thanks again!

I bet your outfit with your tie looks amazing! There are some great vintage skinny ties out there in thrift stores that can be had for dirt cheap.
Say 'pleasant dreams' to your Dad for me.
