Four in Hand Tie Knot Tutorial - Step by Step How To Guide
About this video
The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to tying the four-in-hand knot, explaining its history, characteristics, and step-by-step instructions. They discuss the knot’s versatility, its slightly asymmetrical appearance, and which collar styles pair best with it, while demonstrating proper technique to achieve a polished finish.
Key takeaways
- The four-in-hand is the most popular tie knot in the western world and works well with collar pins, bars, or clips due to its relatively small size
- The Gazette team recommends wearing the four-in-hand knot with classic or medium spread collars, as wider spreads may expose the tie sides
- The four-in-hand knot is created through a simple technique of wrapping the wide end around the slim end and threading it through loops, and can be finished with a dimple for a polished look
