Four-in-hand knot
The
four-in-hand knot is a method of tying a
necktie. Also known as a
simple knot or
schoolboy knot, due to its simplicity and style. Some reports state that carriage drivers tied their
reins with a four-in-hand knot, while others claim that the carriage drivers wore their scarves in the manner of a four-in-hand, but the most likely etymology is that members of the Four-in-Hand Club in London began to wear the neckwear, making it fashionable. The knot produced by this method is on the narrow side, slightly asymmetric, and appropriate for most, but not all occasions. For
United States Army uniforms, and
United States Navy uniforms that include a necktie, the four-in-hand knot is one of three prescribed options for tying the necktie, the other two being the
half-Windsor and
Windsor.
