Visual Merchandising Tip: How to Tie the Windsor Knot
DALLAS, May 25, 1999 / FW /-- What makes the Windsor Knot so special?
Aside from the fact that it was named after the Duke of Windsor, yes the former King of
England who abdicated the throne for the woman he loved, the Windsor knot stands out.
Hence, it is a great knot to use in displaying men's ties.
The secret is in the way it is tied. Check it out! You might sell more neckties and it
is not even Father's Day.
Steps In Tying The Windsor Knot
(1) Drape the tie around the neck, crossing the larger end over the smaller end. The smaller end should be shorter.
(2) Instead of simply curling the larger end completely around the smaller end and then knotting, curl the larger end around and behind, then pull it up and over the neck loop.
(3) Once the larger end is over the neck loop, curl it behind, the smaller end again.
(4) From behind, curl it up and over the neck loop again and pull down.
(5) Cross the larger end over the smaller end horizontally.
(6) From the horizontal position, curl the larger end under the neck loop and pull up.
(7) Tuck the larger end down and into the know you've created.
(8) Pull the larger end down until the knot is tightened and secured in a comfortable position.
