How to Tie the Double Windsor Knot

About the Double Windsor Knot

We’re going to let you in on a secret — the Double Windsor Knot is a myth. In fact, it’s nothing more than an incorrect name for the Windsor Knot. This error originated from a confusion related to the Half-Windsor Knot — specifically that you “double” the Half-Windsor Knot in order to create a (Double) Windsor Knot. Regardless of what name you call it, if you’re looking for a large, triangular knot that’s the ultimate classic, the Windsor is just the thing.

    Had a similar one that broke. Nice one has better access to batteries. Not hard to install either.

    Great
    Purchased for my son. He was very pleased. I only wish I bought the one that held more ties. May purchase another as a gift!

    Very quiet tie rack. It holds all of my husbands ties and rotats pretty nicely. Wish the would make this model that would fit more ties.

    Ergonomic Tie Rack
    This small little tie rack packs quiet a little oomph. Very powerful for its size. Comes in gray plastic and is very lightweight. Easy to install in our closet and on the wall.

    Great Rack
    This is one of the best online purchases I've made in a while. I don't usually leave reviews but I use this tie rack every day and I love using it. I purchased this a few months ago and it took me just a few minutes to install with the help of my two year old. This holds 30 ties comfortably. The buttons work really well rotating in both direction. Great quality, built of solid materials.

    over-rated, underpowered
    Good news: Compact design. Bad news: Underpowered and Noisy. Ordered two as I have a large selection of ties and mounted them on my wall. First suggestion, make sure that you mount them to 1 X 3 so that you ensure ample clearance when the belt turns otherwise the end of your ties will be rubbing against your closet wall or the closet door (depending on how you mount the device). Second suggestion: If you fill the unit up with 30 ties, don't be surprised when it groans as it turns. Clearly underpowered. Last suggestion, if you find that you will be selecting your tie before your wife/partner is getting up, do it the night before or the noise will wake her up.

    A perfect fit!
    I don’t have big closets so the closet mount tie rack wouldn't work for me so I thought I was going to be out of luck, then I stumbled across this great little number. It holds my ties so nicely and I could mount it to the wall of my closet. I had the perfect place for it.
