How to Tie a Tie: Double Windsor Knot (MIRRORED & SLOW FOR BEGINNERS) The Only Knot You Need to Know
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 09. 2018
- When you think of a classic knot, most likely you’re thinking of the Double Windsor. This knot is best paired with dress shirts with a nice wide collar. If you have ties that are a bit longer than what you usually opt for, this is a perfect knot to try as it does require a little bit of length.
The Double Windsor is considered the most iconic knot for your favorite necktie. Named after the Duke of Windsor, who liked his knots wide with thick cloth, it is the most popular of the four major knots widely used by most people today.
Check out our latest video on CZcams - Mynicetie.com’s Double Windsor Knot. The Double Windsor is one of our favorite knots to teach. It’s a quick and easy knot that is symmetrical, classic, and looks fantastic with a myriad of styles.

We're on a mission to interview gentlemen and gentlewomen who are wise, well dressed, and ambitious for good. This is the FIRST of many interviews.
We found Gentri to be not only be wise, well dressed, and ambitious for good but also very genuine and kind.
Watch the interview now on CZcams: • Gentri Interview - The... - Jak na to + styl
all the men here are here for something formal and im just a teenage girl trying to wear a hogwarts uniform
Where did you buy it?
Woman + Tie = Very aesthetic!
literally me lmaoo
if you're looking for a hogwarts vibe the four in a hand OR Prince Albert knot is probably a better option. Double Windsor is alot more formal and if you look at the ties in Harry Potter most of the ties the student's have are four in a hand or Prince Albert and worn pretty loose around the collar with the top button undone. Of course its down to you at the end of the day, wear which knot you feel most comfortable in but if you're going for a more classic Hogwarts uniform vibe go for four in a hand or Prince Albert
Same tho
cool, only took me about 40 minutes to get it
edit: I watched several videos and this is this video that actually helped me do it
Jacob Amati only video that worked for me
Jacob Amati yeah me to...
yep same here helped me with my waiter uniform in collage
Same
same this one actually explained how to get a nice looking knot, every video i tried before, the knot looked horrible when i did it
This is the first time ever that I feel confident enough to use the tie I tied, instead of asking my dad to do it for me. Thanks a lot!
Lol , atleast you had your dad to do it for you , although my dad and mum were divorced and I used to see him every weekend , he never taught me any stuff , the best memories of him was of us fishing , never did he ever show me how to polish my shoes or tie a tie or anything , I had to learn , I wish that he would teach me although I know how to already ಥ╭╮ಥ.
@@mayurenpillay What can I do for you ? 🥲😥😭
Exactly yo
@@mayurenpillay😊
I've done a half windsor my whole life (because that's what my dad taught me). It served me fine for school/formal functions. But I'm getting married tomorrow and I know the double windsor looks far better. Thank you for this video! I was able to learn on the first shot!
CONGRATS man hopefully your marriage went well!!!
Congrats on that!!
Thumbs up from me. I just unlocked the men's achievement of tying my first necktie.
😂
Just wanted to thank you. My dad left when I was 2 so I've been struggling with ties my whole life. Just now I spent an hour trying and failing while watching other videos until I finally made it to yours and nailed it on the first try. Well almost nailed it, might have to make it a bit shorter 😅 I can't even explain why I've been failing so far, my knot just always turned out a little weird. So what I was trying to say is that I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me feel like I've grown a little
You're gown up now with your great windsor knotted tie.
In case you're wondering why I say left hand when it looks like my right, it is because this video is mirrored to make it easier to follow while facing the screen.
That may help for some - but the way my brain works having it mirrored makes it harder to follow. I’m used to looking at people in real life.
It confused me to no end. Being ambidextrous I was also perplexed as to which side of the body the broad part of the tie went. I seldom ever wear them and this was my first time with this type of knot.
Watch it in the mirror hahah.
@@cubbygates4638 best to learn new things though Just pay attention is listen you should get it.
I got this first try! This was the best tutorial on folding a tie. Thank you so much! What a legend!
I have struggled for so long trying to get this down pat. Thank you so much! I will no longer feel embarrassed not being able to do a double windsor knot for my ties.
Perfect combination of a quick delivery and detailed instructions. Very easy to follow along the first time, and not frustratingly slow for 3rd and 4th times.
You’re a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you
2:35 I take my middle finger, and show it to all dem haters boiiii!
YeA
All these years, and I've been doing a half windsor knot, thinking it was a double...smh. Thanks!
Yessir graduation tommorow!!! 🎓👔
Literally the first time in my life I have been able to tie my own tie!
THANK YOU, have had to have my uncle tie my tie for me my entire life....after watching a handful of other videos and only getting increasingly more frustrated YOUR VIDEO finally showed me in a way that I could follow along with. Thanks again!
Extremely relatable.
I really appreciate you. You've save my time & life. From now, When my university presentation have been going on, I don't need the help of others to tie a tie.
Best double Windsor tying video. I should have watched this years ago. Comes out perfect every time!
Best video so far on double Windsor knot. Greatly appreciate it.
This was the only helpful video I found I tried to follow 15 times with other people showing the regular Windsor and it's screwed up every time this is the only one that came out right the first time thank you
I just love it when men dress like this. So nice and elegant
Thank you. this was really easy. i have a party to attend after 1.5 hours later, this is the first video I clicked after my search. watched it first time, tried it, failed. watched it 2nd time, and tried it. Alhamdulillah! done. total time time spent; not even 15 minutes.. :D
After 2 hours, I finally get it, now I have to do this 50 times a day, every day, for the rest of the month of March to prepare for my event
How’d the event go, and I bet you’re pro at ties now
As a dude that doesn't have a dad you have helped me for every job interview so thank you
I watched so many tutorials and failed so many times to tie it correctly. For a while I stuck to the tie knot I already knew but today I wanted to try something different and thought that I'd give it a go (again). However after watching your tutorial I surprisingly managed to tie it properly on the first try. That say something. Thank you. 🙏
Thanks man. Ive been trying to learn for months, this video finally taught me.
I was able to get the knot down but tightening it I kept messing up the knot! Thanks for that last tip, it really helped a lot! My fiancé even complimented on how good it looked :)
I’m just here to do research for my Hermione Cosplay but I wanted to tell all men out there that you matter and the world is a better place with you in it and it’s okay to show weakness and it’s also ok to not be able to tie a double Windsor on the first try.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk ❤️
Thank you.I was attempting to tie my son's Harry Potter Gryffindor tie.Thanks to your video,I did.It was not my first attempt, as I watched another video and did not pull it off...as I watched your video,I pulled it off on the first attempt.Well taught.Thanks again.
I love to hear that. First time club!
You sir, are a lifesaver!
Thank you so much for this! Your instructions and tips were super easy to follow and i was able to tie the double windsor on my first try, to wear during an interview. Apparently this knot is used in the military too so definitely worth learning if you want a detail this like to be recognized! All to google images on how to tie this knot look intimidating and are hard to follow step-by-step, so this video was a godsend.
Can confirm, used this tutorial a few years ago for JROTC in HS and was one of the many reasons I was best dressed in my unit for the whole year!
@@pluto419 I too can confirm, Royal Air Force Air Cadet here, and we use it with light blues formal uniform.
Also military here this is currently used for The U.S. Air Force
Thank you soooooo much!!! I’ve always known how to tie a single Windsor, but my nephew starts the FDNY academy tomorrow, and asked me to tie a double Windsor for him. I got it on the first take!! Thanks again!!
Thank you. Helped me a lot
I couldn't get the exact same shape of the tie ben; but got what I see my classmate does for me when I say her to knot my tie everytime. I am happy with it.
I also learned to knot it without seeing your video after tieng it 3-4 times
Thank you! As a lady Bartender, a necktie is part of my uniform. I thought there was only one way to tie a knot (half Windsor). This video was tremendously helpful and the Windsor is a much better looking, and functioning, knot.
It's called a double windsor... :)
The only video that taught me how to tie a tie without me messing it up, thank you. I feel like this is such an essential skill I've been lacking.
KING!!! I DID IT ON MY FIRST TRY!!! The tiny windsor I usally did left 30 miles of tie dragging behind me. This one was absolutely perfect. I thought this 5'6" man needed a special tie but I guess I don't!!! YOU ROCK! Now I will cosplay Princiapl skinner with EASE!
Saved my life lol! Thank you!!!
THANK YOU!! So many other vids are too fast and confusing. I'd go 4" below the hand. The threading with the forefinger is absolutely key. Great tutorial.
Nothing is fast.. slow it down by reducing playback speed ! 😎🤠
Why thank you. I needed this to cosplay as a character from Sanders Sides.
Logan!!
@@caseymatthess5539 Yep!
Ayyy I’m using this for cosplay too!
@@dipwy6125 Nice, gl 💕
{H a z e l} thank you! :D
Thank you SOOOOO MUCH!!! My boyfriend has fine motor skills/co-ordination issues and tying a nice and neat tie is one of the most difficult things for him to do. As a woman I never needed to, or learned to, tie a tie before and I was easily able to follow this and help him look great for his first job!!! Thanks!!! (His dad always did it before and he bought all new ties for his new job)
I looked at so many videos before this one and they were hard to follow. I was trying not to get frustrated as it was making him more frustrated.
The mirrored image really helped. The video was slow. Easily explained. The guy was articulate. Key points were mentioned. Only took me two attempts to get it right. First try the knot was a little messy. Now I can make an elegant, smooth knot and not wrinkle the tie. Still working on getting the right length for HIM. So far it seems if I put the tie-tip at my wrist, gently fold the tie to my finger tips and hold my arm straight down, I get the length about right. Again, you are a life saver!! Thank you so so so so much.
legend!!! graduating tomorrow, got it on the first try.
beautiful video my friend. "A Well-Tied Tie is the First Serious Step in Life" - Oscar Wilde
Thanks! i have PE class tommorow and i need to do my tie after changing this helped alot!
I just loosen it so I can put my head through you don’t need to undo it
WOW! Yes, I know I am not the "target audience" but I wanted to use a couple of CHANEL ties as accessories for a juxtaposition look and first tried the "half windsor" and it seemed complicated yet not much of a pow...... a few videos and ties later and BAAAAM! This guy is AMAZING! As a professional trainer, he knows how to teach! I am working with some older ties and wearing them low but his "tightening hack" completely did the trick! This is THE video for all the single mom's of sons, boys and men who are wearing ties for the first time and GAL's who want to wear a statement piece- far better to buy a CHANEL or GUCCI vintage tie for $30-$80 than a junkie costume matchy matchy piece! The double windsor- I am not sure if that is what all of the suave "cats" are wearing but I like it!
Thanks for the kind words. Ben was raised by a single mom so his heart goes out to you.
Thanks, clear and concise instructions. Got it right on the first go, took another 10-15 mins of practice to do it by memory without referring to the video. I prefer the double Windsor instead of single.
After watching 1203 videos and failing with all of them, I found you Mr "NiceTie". Thanks!!!
Haven’t tied a double Windsor in years and this video is simple and to the point. I’m keeping this video in my tool box.
thank you so much! My grandsons, 10 year old twins found your video very helpful. They're so proud of themselves !
Finally a proper tutorial 😃😃
Nailed it on the first try thanks to you! Absolute best tie tutorial I've ever seen.
Much appreciated hope my future hubby gets his job!
It's the only knot I ever wear, it's formal, balanced, commanding, yet elegant. It's simply perfect.
Can't tell you how many times I have had to re-watch this when tying my tie.... lol... you have kept me looking fresh MyNiceTie. Best wishes!!
Thanks for the clear and simple instructions! I got all my ties ready to go with the Double Windsor. Thanks again!!
This really helped me prepare for Air Cadets. Thank you!
Thanks for your service.
The pause to adjust the shape of the knot, using the thumb to help tighten and shape things, it what finally helped me get a triangular knot. Took 5 videos and a bunch of practice but I have something that's passable.
After 4-5 tries. I finally got it! Thank your sir
i have watch so many veidos and my tie is maked very bad, but when i saw this viedeo mam has also say that my tie so gd..... thanks
Watched alot of tie videos and this is the best I've seen. Great jod 👍
Nice
me too .. same pintch
I haven't tied a tie in 20 years & I used to be the guy everybody went to for the perfect double Windsor. Thanks for the great refresher.
Finally im a cultured man. Thank you, I've watched hundreds of videos on CZcams and this isbthe one that finally clicked. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.
simple and easy to follow, great video. wish id found this one first lol
THANK YOU MAN! AHAHAHA i never thought it is this easy .
I wasn't sure if I was using a 4 in hand or Double Windsor knot so I thought I would check online and see... I have been tying a Double Windsor, BUT I have not been tying it to best advantage!! Thank you so much for sharing the tips and tricks of a more refined technique. Now I know where I can pause and pay closer attention to detail and how to better finish off the knot and I am very grateful to have found your video. Thank you!
The best tutorial I’ve found. Saved my bacon today is my daughters wedding and my son wanted a double Windsor. I only do bow ties so this was great! Thanks
I know there are like 2 million views on this so I doubt my comment will be seen but I just have to say this was the best video after watching others for like 30 minutes. This was the only video that explained how to do it in such a way that allowed me to actually accomplish this feat on my own. Thank you. I now watch Thai video every time I need to tie a tie.
Zach in Japan we see you! Thanks for the comment!
Nice tutorial! Now I can tie my tie for my school uniform!
Same here
Me to bro in Cambridge.
It's actually a very good thing you've learned this early. I'm 22 and JUST learned how to tie one
The thumb roll at the end to help shape the knot was always the step I was missing. Great video!
You are the only instructional site that makes it land for me, thank you!!!
I must of watched this 50 times and I still can’t get it I feel like exploding
Same here and why us I wish schools would never wear a tie cuz it’s annoying
You must be complete morons then...
It’s mirrored so do exactly what he is doing like you are looking in a mirror. It’s prettt simple
When he says LEFT hand make sure you use the RIGHT and vice versa.
It already confused me when he Said i take my right had but showed the left 1
its a mirrored video
He doesn't know which is which. Well, he should have learned that before learning tying a tie.
Fucked me up too
Best double Windsor tutorial out there.
Excellent tutorial. Quality ties make the most spectacular double windsors, so don't skimp on quality.
Absolutely quality silk ties always work the best and look the best .... I never skimp on quality ties either...
The instruction that finally worked for me. The other videos on youtube didn't help.
Thanks
Finally could make a double windsor in less than 30 minutes LOL! Thank you so much, simply the best tie knot video I've ever found! I'll save this to my favorites so I will never get in trouble doing knots again!
Best tie video on CZcams
This was very helpful for a stressed out christmas party-partyer. Thanks!
After doing it wrong for years I've finally done it correctly. Only took 9 years of my adult life but hey better late than never
I watched different videos and I didn't get it and I watched this one just once and got it on my first try.
Best review on CZcams the thumb trick at the end while pulling the tie down is a genius tip
Good chap wasnt kiddin; I learned it, and now I have a Full Windsor and now I can let it go without having to untie the knot 👍
Wow! All my life I never knew how to make a proper tie, but it took me only 4 minutes to learn how to. Thank you very much

This is great.I just recently transferred to a strict Boarding School with a strict Gray Jacket, Gray Dress Slacks ,Gray tie and black dress shoes dress code and an overcoat daily. My tie looks great which is what I need since I pretty much suit it up daily for many hours a day.
Great video, we used it this morning on my mates wedding day and are all looking fresshhhhh. Big life saver ;))
This knot is very common in my place. Still a great video as always.
No matter how many times I try I can never get it. I’ve watched this over and over and still can’t get it.
Watch it at 0.25 speed jaja
I have a meeting tomorrow and you saved my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

best windsor tutorial
I'm nearly 50 yrs old and just learned to tie a double windsor. Thank you.
your left is your right and your right is your left... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Lol.
Don't know his right hand from his left hand. Dude you just impeached your credibility.
the video's mirrored
FYI: this is the official US NAVY knot for uniform
Same for the air force
THANKS for the mirror image. I have also found that running it at 1/2 speed also helps.
The most helpful video on CZcams!
This guy I don’t know his left from right 😂 1:30
he is mirroring
It’s his left and his right and he is facing the camera so he is mirroring so I guess who is the one who really doesn’t know his left and right huh
"Keep looking classy" me a girl who is trying to be rebels but fashionable at the same time.
I would say that being well dressed in this day and age is to be a rebel. When everybody is dressing like a neanderthal some of us well dressed are rebelling against that.
UNBELIEVABLE VIDEO....I was decent at the DOUBLE, but your tips helped. APPRECIATE.
What an awesome video! I was able to nail it on the second try and did a few more practice runs for confidence! If I hadn't rushed, the very first attempt would have been perfect. If you're having issues don't forget you can slow the video.
