Four in Hand Tie Knot

Four In Hand Tie Knot

The Four in Hand Tie Knot is a fast and effective way to get out of the door, now! It's a very simple knot that has a bias to one side when finished. It also has a looser feel and a more casual look.

A thinner knot by design, it won't crowd you at the neck and allows for a shirt collar that is closed in. If you tie this knot right, you can elevate its look to resemble its more respected companions. Still a good looking tie knot in its own right and well worth a try.

Getting these starting lengths right takes a few goes and they will be different for everyone.
