Ties

[leowyatt]

Do you have trouble tying your tie in a morning? Never too sure which knot to do or how to do it properly? Well give thanks because here (http://www.sexytie.com/) is full video instructions on how to tie a Full Windsor Knot.

Personally I'm ok as I don't have to wear a tie at work but after that I might start making the effort ;)

I keep my ties at work.. Half Windsor for me.. I always seem to run of tie when doing a full one.. I look like biffer from Grange Hill!

[Feek]

Biffer?

Gripper?

Full Windsor for me.

Full Windsor here when I need to wear one. Our company brought in a new casual dress code. Men were not allowed to wear Jeans, Chinos or any other casual trousers, no Polo shirts, t shirts, logo shirts. No trainers, sandals or boots. In essence wear the same but without a neck tie :angry:

Biffer?

Gripper?

yes him as well :p


You don't look like a full windsor guy to me?

[Feek]

I scrub up quite well.

The first time I met Daz, I was suited and booted, he had no idea!

[Jonny69]

I think you had a tie on when I met you too Feek. No wonder you looked so strangled and uncomfortable :D*

*I don't think it was me causing the discomfort

I don't get on well with ties any more. My hands are rough and shred them and they look ruined very quickly.

[Admiral Huddy]

^ Did I have a tie on when you first met me?

I don't wear a tie to work - tshirt and jeans for the win! :D

but I tie full-windsor, and I normally have a major malfunction with the length (fnar!)

[BBx]

I wear a half Winsdor, but for some reason can't do it on Rob's neck :/

Ditto on both counts. Apart from the length problem, I've got no issues there.

You were wearing some sort of gun tie clip as well iirc, and it was only after seeing that I wondered 'if it might be Feek', however we both were quick to check in so it didnt come up until shortly after, when MB arrived :D

Or me.

Oh, we're talking about ties?

[Lomster]

I have problems tying a tie on Fay, i can't get it tight enough ;D

[Jasper]

Ditto on both counts. Apart from the length problem, I've got no issues there.

yeah...me either

*looks shifty*

[Wossi]

I only know how to tie 1 knot I *think* it's just a half windsor. :( I fail at knots.

[Garp]

I tend to settle for half Windsor, but judging by that video I may have a quirk in my full Windsor technique that probably explains my issues with it. Will have to try that later at home imitating her.

:) Can usually do the full Windsor without looking and most of the time it comes out the right length although sometimes a quick glance in the mirror is required!

That said, I don't wear a tie into work, have a few hanging on the back of the door which go with all my shirts though for if I need to go meet a client :)

I used to wear a tie at school - so did it for 7 years. I wear a tie for work, it takes about 20s to do. Half windsor for me :)

[semi-pro waster]

Interesting, I've never tried tying a full Windsor, I'm not totally sure what the knot I normally use is called but the end result looks fine. I've just tried the full Windsor and now I know why I've never bothered before, too complicated and because of all the fussing around it uses up too much material which is a problem for me as I'm relatively tall so I don't want a short tie.

[Jonny69]

Also depends on the tie, a lot of ties at the moment are wide and thick and a full Windsor looks like the bloody Thames Barrier. Cadets taught me that tie knots must not exceed a certain size or you'll find yourself henging from something by it :D So a meddled-with Half Windsor ftw in that case.

Huddy I think you were indeed wearing a tie. And a pink shirt :D
