Give me your thoughts about this totally useless garment.
You can also tell me what knot to use.
Two suggestions

the second one, the windsor, is a bit harder but gives
better results. also, it matters how long the tie is.
knotting a windsor takes more tie, so to speak. so if you
have a long one, use the windsor. and use the slipknot if
you have a short one.

and for the extra credits: the reason why the windsor looks
better is that it gives a more symmetrical knot. the
slipknot tends to be a-symmetrical. the windsor, in a way,
is more like a double slipknot.

The Windsor, norwegian mongo-version.
Looks like a knot-ball

I am one of the only guys I know who knows how to tie a tie.
I only know a half windsor, but I always end up tying my
friends ties for them. So, my father making every effort to
teach me how to be a gentleman, and learn how to do things
like tie ties and so on, only succeeded in making me
everyones bitch.

hahahaha
it's not THAT bad for a first time. but i don't think you
can learn these things from the internet. look for someone
who can teach you in real life. or perhaps there are clips
on youtube or something. maybe those could help.

Finally! A decent windsor. The part of the tie that's at the
back of my neck is kinda inside-out, but the collar will
cover it. I don't dare to untie it, cause I'm not sure I can
do it again.

looks like i'm late, but nevertheless:
the slipknot

and yes it's obvious that the guy doing the tie is as gay as
the queer from england

do.

Things like ties make me not understand humanity.
Hello, I think I'll wear an entirely useless long strip of
cloth around my neck because everyone else does. Maybe tie
wearing is a religion.
