Did you know that there are over 180 different ways to tie a necktie? Can sound quite intimidating, doesn’t it? Well, the truth is: Even though so many different necktie knots have been recorded, only a few of them are still used today. Which knot you choose of the commonly used ones is completely personal preference, your skill level, as well as dependent on your shirt’s collar spread.

If you are looking for a timeless classic knot, that will look good with a wide range of neckties and dress shirts, and, more importantly, is a piece of cake to master, then the Four-in-Hand knot is the perfect choice. Because of its simplicity, the Four-in-Hand knot is one of the most commonly used methods to tie a necktie. It creates a well-balanced, uniform knot that’s easily adjusted for comfort, and the size of the knot can be varied to match a wide range of collars. In fact, the Four in Hand knot is so easy to tie, that British horsemen were able to tie their scarves with this type of knot with one hand, while holding the reigns of four horses in the other.

So how is this know tied? Lets start with the instructions. By the way, if you are more of a visual learner, you might want to look at my site Chea-Neckties.com for graphical instructional guidelines. To get started, button up your dress shirt and flip up your collar. Then put the necktie around your neck to that the broad side hangs down much lower on your right side. Make sure that the seam at the back to the tie is facing your body and your neck. Pass the wide end of the tie over the narrow end, and hold the intersection in place with two fingers on your other hand. Then pass the wide side back over the narrow end. While doing this create a loop in front of the ‘intersection’ hold this loop open and don’t pull tight quite yet. Then take the broad end of the tie and pull it through the ‘V’ on your neck from behind. Then, pull the wide side of the tie through the loop on the front of the ‘intersection’. As a final step, tighten the tie knot carefully, pull it up towards your neck, and finally flip down your shirt’s collars. And you are already done tying the Four in Hand necktie knot.

With a little bit of practice you will be able to tie this know as you are walking to catch the subway or while in the elevator on your way tow work. It is a simple tie knot that is also an excellent choice for taller men since the Four-in-Hand knot doesn’t require much of the tie’s length.
