Although the Duke of Windsor never specifically used the Windsor knot, he did favor a wide triangular knot. In actuality,
the Duke achieved his trendsetting look by tying a Four-in-Hand with specially made wide and extra thick ties. The Windsor
knot was invented by the public as a way to imitate the Duke's knot style. There are several derivatives of the Windsor
that are all referred to by the same name. The Windsor delivers a symmetrical and solid triangular knot that works best
with a spread collar.

Start with the wide end of the tie on the right and the small end on the left. The tip of the small end should
rest slightly above your belly-button (this will vary depending on your height and the length & thickness of your
tie). Only move the active (wide) end.
