St Andrew’s Knot

One of our favorite tie knots is the relatively unknown St Andrew’s Knot. We made an effort to give it some of its more deserved recognition, because it is the perfect choice if you cannot pick between the volume of the Half Windsor and the Double Windsor. It is exactly in between! In addition, it gives a great depth to the knot, so you can also make a nice dimple under it with your finger.

  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.

  • Result: It is a bit narrower in shape than the Windsor Knots and a little less asymmetrical than the Four in Hand.
  • When to wear? It is a fairly formal knot, for a night out with friends you might prefer a casual Four in Hand, but in the workplace and ceremonies St Andrew’s Knot is the way to go. It is suitable for all ties with a normal thickness and width.
  • Difficulty: ** (2 out of 5)

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.
