Oriental Knot

If one knot can be designated as the basic knot, then it is the Oriental Knot. A super simple knot that fits perfectly in an instant. Ideal if you have limited time or if you are a beginner in tie knotting. It is extremely popular in China, comparable to the popularity of the Four in Hand knot in the west, which it has a lot in common with.

  1. Hang the tie around the collar with the back facing forward, the wide part on the right and the narrow part slightly above navel height. The exact height depends on the stature and thickness of the tie. Only the wide part is used when tying the tie.

  2. Cross the wide part horizontally behind the narrow part of the tie.

Background Information: The Oriental Knot

Not very surprisingly, this basic knot is also known as the Simple Knot. What’s unusual is that you start by hanging this tie around your neck so that the lining hangs forward. This is an uncommon approach, with only 2 of the 8 knots that we have presented to you is this the case. Even after the knot is complete, the “tail” (the narrow part of the tie) remains turned around. The front of the tie is of course worn with the lining to the rear.

Braces bought as a gift. Lovely quality & classy packaging. Good price & arrived quickly.

To be fair my expectations were low given the price of my purchase. The items price were at least 50% lower than any other seller. On arrival I was very surprised to see the quality of the items, the packing was brilliant and the speed of delivery could not be bettered. All in all I’m more than happy with this purchase and have added the website to my list of preferred suppliers of any goods of this nature.
