How to Tie-a-Tie - Full Windsor (slowly mirrored) - Easy!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Want to know how to tie a tie in a full Windsor knot? This tutorial has been shot slowly and mirrored to make it super easy to follow. Soon you will be able to tie a tie in the Windsor knot perfectly every time.
(Fact: The Windsor tie knot is also known as the Double Windsor or the Full Windsor. All these terms refer to the same method of tying a tie).
Most videos only show a tie being tied in front of you, not how you would see it in a mirror. Just place your phone next to a mirror and follow exactly. Easy!
If you have been successful please LIKE the video and subscribe! We would also love to hear your comments.
Reef Knots is a menswear brand that produces some of the best ties in the world. Patrick (from the video) designs every tie in London and they are then handmade and screen-printed in Como, Italy. Ties are sold through our City of London shop and website: reefknots.com
If you would like to purchase the tie in the video, we ship all over the world. This tie can be found here:

No worries about it mate, I've just discovered that I don't know everything. I've started a new job and we have to use a tie. I never thought about using a tie or how to tie it up. After many years as a carpenter and also, maintenance service in a hotel,I got the job of the front desk in this very place. So I must look elegant in the eyes of the guests.

I brushed up on how to do the basic knot, then decided to go the extra yard for the symmetrical, sharper look. After all, my nephew's tie will be as perfect as possible for his elementary school graduation. Thanks from the cornfields of Southwest Indianapolis, Indiana. I greatly appreciate your video, my brother. 🤜🤛

Then I learned and realized I only knew how to tie a four in on, which I was never really happy with. It never looked right. Then I saw a movie where the guy was talking about the full Windsor and I had to learn thanks for your video.
