The Windsor Knot goes by many names – Full Windsor Knot, Double Windsor or Scappino Knot. The Duke of Windsor liked wearing very full knots and used thick fabrics to achieve his signature look. The people of England, in an attempt to emulate the Duke, created the Windsor Knot. It achieves the robust knot of the Duke without the need for heavy, thick material.
The Full Windsor Knot is often used by the armed forces for its authority and formality. The Windsor gives a symmetrical, triangular finish and is best suited to thick necks and ties made from lightweight fabrics.
It’s important to start with the wide end significantly lower than the narrow end because the Windsor Knot requires a great amount of material.
