In terms of tie knots stick with either a four hand, double four in hand, windsor, or half windsor. Everything else looks silly

I need some help her niketalk fam, I'm buying a pair of prps jeans..... can anyone tell me do they last a long time.... The jeans I wear are mostly A&F baxter fit I go for the destroyed look just can't stand being the plain jane... And another thing do they tend to run big or small...I'm ordering online haven't tried on a pair but the style is slim straight, so I imagine their true to size? anyone out there have a pair that would love to share with me if they're worth it or not...

You should ask in the denim thread. Or pm stillin79, he's the resident prps expert.

Do you know what he does (or did, if he's retired) for a living?

Nope. Posted by the owner of Epaulet to show us on the Epaulet thread.

Truthfully there's tons of gents like him on SF. A lot with more expensive suits and gear too. That suit is only around $1k so he doesn't have to be a millionaire or anything that well off.

Agreed. Also depends on the material. A double or full Windsor on a wool or knit tie would be ridiculous.

Long time no see, Mike! Hope all is well.

Anybody knows the different type of tie knots? What is the most common wear for a modern suit? Or is it based on type of shirt collars?

I disagree Wes. I think they all have a place. Here are the different styles.

I've never even heard of the Pratt Shelby, looks like a smaller half windsor. But when I was talking about everything else looking silly I was referring to knots like these

It's a heritage jacket though, somewhat of a retro or nod to the old school days when crazy big branding were the craze and that is mostly why I like the jacket.

Nice pickups SP

 

[hhhornet15]

Also at J Crew (but not J Crew Factory) get a $25 statement credit on purchases over $100 if you use an AmEx card. Saw it on fatwallet. Might go later to pick up a fair isle sweater I saw on Black Friday.

There's so many knots you can use on a tie.

The most common knots you'll see are the half-windsor, full windsor, four in hand and the Pratt. The half-windsor is the most common you'll see. Although, latley, I've been seeing a ton of people wearing full-windsors with regular collar shirts. This is kind of "unnatural", because you're supposed to wear the full windsor with a spread collar.

 

[hennessy]

I'm not even sure what knot I use. Just do it the way my dad taught me way back and it's natural now.

Great pickups SP. Those AEs + crisp photography = You may have inspired my next boot purchase.

I love throwing out the Eldridge. Folks flip out. I use it sparingly though.

 

[kal-el-8]

I do the worst tie ever,

Like one loop and its like a half of a half windsor.

Really gotta take the time to do the others.

I just googled it... :x

I expect that to be worn with a shiny Express-colored shirt by 60 year old mafiaso types bathed in cologne or Steve Harvey circa 2000, preacher looking dudes.
