How To Tie a Tie - The Kelvin Knot

About this video

The Gazette team demonstrates how to tie the Kelvin knot, explaining that it’s similar to the oriental knot but with an additional loop that creates a larger, more voluminous knot. They show the step-by-step tying process using a navy blue Fort Belvedere tie and discuss collar recommendations and sizing considerations for different tie thicknesses.

Key takeaways

• The Kelvin knot is an oriental knot with one extra loop around the tie, resulting in increased volume and a bigger overall appearance
• The Gazette team recommends using thinner oriental or four-in-hand knots with thick ties rather than Kelvin knots to maintain proportional sizing
• The Gazette team suggests pairing Kelvin knots with medium spread to cutaway collars, as these wider collars better accommodate larger knots and accentuate the shoulders
