The Hawkeroo is, and so am I:  Fuck that haphazard, unsymmetrical-looking Single-Windsor, and the horribly unkempt-looking Schoolboy Knot. (Had a real estate closing yesterday wherein an the elder attorney gentleman across from me commented on my knot. It was a pretty neat conversation.) |

Double Windsors are for closeted 'mos. That dude was coming on to you.

The smallest knot possible. Otherwise even extra-long ties stop above my navel as if I was a hillbilly. |

I always used the schoolboy. Small knots were in fashion when I came of age. And it's easy to get the tie to belt length. But bigger knots have come back in style so I've occasionally gone to a Windsor. Sometimes it's hard to get the tie to the right length. I don't know how Trump has his ties hanging down between his knees. They must be extra long or something. Anyway, it's a dumb look. |

I do double-windsor simply because I don't know how any other way. And yes, to get around his belly and still hang to his knees Trump must have 9-foot ties. |

Panther, do you wear a tie every day? I do a single Windsor because that's just what I've always done. I probably only wear a tie 5 times a year, though. |

It looks like I do the Pratt method but I kind of just figured it out myself because I wear one once or twice a year. |

Four-in-hand (apparently that's the same as a schoolboy, though I had not heard of that term) |

Always a suit and tie to Court, of course, but for client meetings and Real Estate Closings my rule is that if we have never met (new client), I always wear a suit and tie. For existing clients, I usually go with a quarter-zip, sweater, or sweater vest over a collared shirt - sometimes with tie, and sometimes not. In summer, I wear a polo shirt a lot. Any time I am in a contentious deal wherein the other attorney has been a dick, is a hardass, or otherwise is going to put up a fight, I always wear a non-busy tie (no pattern or very simple pattern) and either the Armani or the hand-made suit that the old Italian seamstress lady next door (whose husband was a haberdasher for Hart Schaffner Marx for over 40 years) made for me as a gift. |

Single Windsor. Wait, isn't a single Windsor a half-Windsor and a double is just a Windsor? I guess I don't know what I do. But it must work because on the rare occasions where I wear a tie (besides funerals), I prove to be very interesting to the ladies. |

Yeah, I actually do a double Windsor, I guess. I wasn't sure what it was called. It's just the one I was taught to do when I was young. It is definitely hard to get them long enough... my torso is disproportionately long, so I buy real long ties and then just start with it really long when i start tying it. By the time I'm done, it doesn't even look long. |

However, the old Jew partner who trained me to be a lawyer would tear everyone to shreds in his wrinkled dockers, old sport coat, and old man-with-bad-feet black gym shoes. |

I guess the way I do it is called Four-in-Hand. Really easy actually although the knots are usually pretty small. Don't really know any other ways and I don't wear ties enough to really experiment much. I did buy a real bow tie for a charity event a few years ago and learned how to tie that which was kind of cool but again, I haven't worn it since. Might wear a tie 1-2 times a year. Maybe. I don't go to court as often as I did as a younger man
