How to Tie the Victoria Knot

About this video

The Gazette team teaches how to tie the Victoria knot, a larger tie knot created by looping the wide end around twice before threading through. They explain that this knot requires a spread collar, works best with taller rise trousers, and may shorten the overall tie length, so they recommend considering tie length options when wearing larger knots.

Key takeaways

• The Victoria knot is a Four in Hand knot looped around once more, creating a larger knot suitable for rakish men who want more visual presence
• The Gazette team argues this knot requires at least a medium spread collar and is incompatible with collar pins or bars due to its size
• The Gazette team notes that larger knots shorten the overall tie length, so taller men should choose extra-long ties to maintain proper proportions
