How to Tie the Classic Four-in-Hand Knot
KAUFMANN presents a step-by-step guide to tie the classic Four-in-Hand knot
The Four-in-Hand knot is supposedly named after a gentlemen’s club in London, named “The Four in Hand Club”, where the knot is also said to have been invented. It’s a slightly askew and asymmetric tie knot, which works well with pretty much all shirt collars. The long and slim knot helps elongate the neck. The Four-in-Hand knot only has a few steps, and therefore it’s one of the easiest tie knots.
- Hold the wide end of the tie to your right. Let the wide end hang around 20 centimeters below the small end.
- Move the wide end once around the small end.
- Move the wide end upwards and move it through the loop at the neck.
- Hold the knot loosely and move the wide end down through the loop.
- Tighten the loop, slide the knot, and adjust the knot to sit below the collar
