85 Ways to Tie a Tie

Half Windsor for me. However, it doesn't work if you've got a wide tie since the knot then looks like some sort of small mammal is having a go at your Adam's Apple. Full Windsor only works with a silk tie, for the same reason. Four in hand always looks a bit wonky, slips to one side, and looks rubbish with a thin tie.

Save yourself money and disappointment by just reading the Wikipedia article on the book instead, which lists the useful knots in shorthand form: The 85 Ways to Tie a Tie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Once you work out how the shorthand relates (takes a few minutes) it's all you need, taught me to tie the Windors. I'm a half-windsor man now rather than 4 in hand, the knot looks so much chunkier and neater - although not on the level of DaveP's image above (although you've already had rep off me today for the Batman image, Dave, so you'll have to make do with that for now!)

Yes I noticed. Thanks for the REP+
