Nice site. I was happy to see it has the 'fast AdrianII' as well.

Speaking of which, I would be interested to know how the gentlemen* of the.org knot their ties. My preferred knot is the double knot, also known in my country as the 'double Windsor'. Thus:

* Tie-less slobs, snobs or punks need not apply...

Last semester, I was part of a design team for Intro to Mechanical Design class that made a machine that folded shirts using the above method. The machine worked, but we had to use a kid's shirt as Westerner-sized shirts don't take well to that folding method.

My knot of choice is the 'Grand Windsor'. Most of my ties are made of fine thin silk, so they look best with a large knot.

Pah, real men wear cravats.

I will go off and try this folding shirts thingy...tomorrow morning.

Oh, and it's the double Windsor for me too.

Most recently tied tie was a bow... so there's that.

When wearing a normal tie, the know I use appears to be the grand windsor (if I understand the diagram Louis provided).

N.B. Mirrors are to be avoided, as they can confuse. They're ok for adjusting once the knot is made though.
