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

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

I only know how to tie 1 knot I *think* it's just a half windsor.

I fail at knots.

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

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.
