About the Simple Simple Knot
Also known as the Oriental, Kent knot and Petit Noeud, the Simple Knot contains the fewest possible steps and is very
easy to learn. Despite its simplicity, this knot is rarely worn in the West but maintains popularity in China. This may
be because it is not self-releasing, making it more difficult to untie. The Simple knot is compact with an asymmetry
causing it to lean toward the active end. This knot works well with thick neckties or for tall guys who need a little
extra length. Live the simple life.
