You'd need a pretty long tie mate

it's fedoramatrix core

only people that use it are the kind that wear fedoras, suits or parts of suits all the time

the kind that have recently abandoned their cargoshorts and trench coats for something more "le classy"

I just corss, flip and penetrate, like a normal person.

No reason for classy tie knots if you're middle-class, just makes you look like a try hard.

Man, I knew this kid in high school who wore suits every day with this knot. He had a suitcase filled with Yugioh cards and one of those arm things you put the deck in like in the show. He never brushed his teeth or washed his hair. He would go on and on about his stupid anime that he was writing. It sucks though because his face really isn't all that bad. He was just a walking cliche of autism and fedoracore. Pic related, it's him.

In other words, OP, no, it's not.

>>8711381
no its tumblr cuckold core

Trinity is best

anything other than windsor knot is fedora-core

>>8711381
>fedoracore being spouted
Pretty sure you have to actually be a neckbeard/beta to be fedoracore. If you actually wear a suit and tie often, then trinity/eldredge would be sick. Mix it up. I wish I could, they'd make work a lot more interesting. Unfortunately I always forget to check and I'm pretty sure you'd need like a metre of tie to pull it off

>>8711381
No, it's autistic.

>>8712456
>If you actually wear a suit and tie often, then trinity/eldredge would be sick.
>would be sick
only retards speak like thi

if you wear a suit/tie often you're in a position to know better than to wear costume get ups like this cosplayers tie knot

>>8712456
>I'm pretty sure you'd need like a metre of tie to pull it off

nah.

sauce: i used to sell ties. my manager tied his in all kinds of funky knots. it looked cool. but these cheap ties look too shiny and retarded. you don't need a crazy knot on a shiny tie like that. it looks much better on a mat tie.

has to be made of good silk, though. otherwise the knot looks shittier the more complicated it is.

>>8712530
what's the worst tie you ever sold, i mean, the most hideous?

what sort of person bought it?

did any fedora's enter your store to buy? to what did they gravitate?

>>8712705
there is no such thing as a bad tie

>>8712734
yes there is

half the ones sold at express

>>8712456

I wear a suit and tie every day, if you came into my place of work with a tie like this you'd be laughed at and told to retie it properly.

Stuff like this is people with no personality trying to make up for it by doing something that "stands out"

Most of the time though, while wearing a suit youre not meant to stand out, besides just having picked colour, pattern and fit correctly.

>>8712705
i bet he sold shiny cheap silk ties to prom kids

>>8712438
Wrong. Balthus knot is the most fa

>>8713019
>>8712438

Pratt / Shelby knots are also fa

Fuck no it looks like a giant cockroach is burrowing into your throat
>just like my dick

>>8712766
you playing g/u infect?

>>8711410
If it takes you 2 minutes to tie your tie just dont where one because you'll probably fuck up whatever knot you're doing and it will void your whole outfit

>>8712180
Lmao stop.

>>8712147
Kek,

>>8712147

basically

>>8712764
This there is no nxtlvl knots that are /fa/ because sperging about your tie knot is incredibly lame. This is why businessmen do full windsor for respect and actors do half windsor for that 5oclock shadow, top button undone look.

Also that nigga that said
>it would make work more interesting
LMAO

>>8712764
>Stuff like this is people with no personality trying to make up for it by doing something that "stands out"
Well said

>>8713105
Swap the word personality with taste. If a dude is wearing a well fitting suit and shirt with a nice tie that coordinates well, the thought of tying such a stupid knot would never occur to him. Spergs buy a shitty suit and a shitty shirt pair them with a shitty tie. They go home look in the mirror and say " man, i bought this suit and i still look like shit. Must be the knot" they cant accept the fact that they fucked up on a major purchase and they think a complicated knot will make up for it. Its like those fatabilly bitches.

>>8713139
>Spergs buy a shitty suit and a shitty shirt pair them with a shitty tie
don't forget the inevitable clincher:
shitty shoes

>>8711381
Please don't. It looks incredibly unprofessional in most situations.

Don't do eldredge. If you're looking for something different, which I'm assuming because you posted this outlandish knot, maybe try some bow ties?

>>8713317
How could i forget
Inb4 spatula loafers

>>8713343
No. Stop. They werent cool then they arent cool now. You'll look like bill nye/nutty proffesor/that old nigga from ncis

>not quad-windsoring
You guys are all turboqueers.

>>8713382
If you're handsome you can pull off anything.

>>8713432
Bill nye is a handsome guy. I wouldnt want people to associate me with his asthetic tho

>>8713377
was gonna post that pic (you know the one) before I realized I've never actually saved it

>not quin-windsoring
Y'all are turboqueers

>>8713382
Are you stating they wouldn't be a better substitute for an eldredge knot, because you sir would be mistaken.

Is Bill Nye a bow tie idol?...possibly.

>>8713520
Bill nye has mad swag. All you have to do to pull off the nerd look without looking like a nerd is be a big guy.

>>8712438
If you want to look like a used car salesman, windsor is the way to go.

If you want to look like a civilised person, go with a four in hand.

>>8713343
>maybe try some bow ties?
only if you are:
an architect
an artist of some sort (technical drawer) that needs a tie
a gynecologist


basically any profession or trade where having something long that can dip into things (paintpots, wet drawings, vaginas et.al.) would be a nuisance.

unfortunately a small subset of the usual fedora crown adopted the bowtie after one of the doctor who's wore them as part of their costume

>>8713551
Same i was gonne put it in that post lmao

>>8713382
>You'll look like bill nye

how is this in any way even remotely negative

>>8713574
>If you want to look like a used car salesman, windsor is the way to go.
not necessarily
half-windsor is best
>If you want to look like a civilised person, go with a four in hand.
4 in hands are good if you're wearing a 3-piece
it's a very old fashioned knot
if you wear one past schooling age it looks kinds silly
like kids that never learned half windsors after having been taught a 4inhand at prep/private/public schools

at least that's how it goes in britain

>>8713559
Aaaah lmao i have a tie thats thick and if you full windsor it it looks like you wrapped up a childs fist

>>8713565
Its better to not weat any tie if those are your options. Thats my point.

>>8713573
>Going for the nerd look
Thats the problem>>8713574

>>8713579
Try a bowtie if:
- you are dead and were buried in a tux

>>8713585
Looking like bill nye WILL get you pussy. Dressing like bill nye wont. Swaggerjacking is bad when everyone knows whos youre jacking.

>>8712530
>the knot looks shittier the more complicated it is.

everyone on earth needs to realize this or else when aliens show up we'll be fucked

Consider tje following
>This is now a bill nye thread

>>8713588
Windsor knot was literally invented to emulate the appearence of the Duke of Windsor's tie knots. Since he had his ties bespoke made, he had thicker fabrics which lead to a larger knot. But he actually tied a four in hand. It's so symmterical it looks ridiculous.

>>8713652
When you wear a suit symmetry is everything. Important people dont want to look like paul walker on the red carpet.

>>8713661

Sprezzatura is popular in the italian style, and asymmetry is not necessarily untidy. Those huge, windors knots make you look like news anchors, used car salesmen, or just ridiculous.

Besides, ties aren't worn to formal occasions.

>>8714427
Whats really important is matching the tie knot to the shirt collar. Yeah, a full windsor is symmetrical, but if you wear one oft hose with a narrow point collar you'll look retarded.
>Full windsor - Spread collar
>Half windsor - Semi spread collar
>Four in Hand - Point collar
The above can obviously be modified depending on the thickness of the tie and resulting knot.

This is most effay knot

Bump.

>>8714557
I loathe spread collar, but that's more of a question of personal preference.

what your knot says about you:
four in hand: hurried
half windsor: average bloke
full windsor: jumped-up prick
trinity: half fedora
eldredge: full fedora

>>8714918
Bull shit.

Four in hand: Don't know how to tie a tie
Half Windsor: Real Man
Full Windsor: Mob Boss, Executive or fag trying to look like one of them.
Trinity: Don't fucking try..
Eldredge: Pussy Magnet.

>>8711381

No. It's only used by neckbeards and cosplayers who saw The Matrix too many times.

>>8714747
>not shaped properly

keep to 4 in hand knot until you can do a Windsor right.

>>8712162
His face is pretty bad, do you feel empathy because
>sadsameface.jpeg

Bump.

>>8715733
I mean, for a fedoracore, it isn't bad. But in general, it's pretty bad. Should have clarified.

>>8714427
Windsor knots size vary greatly but average in quarter to half dollar size when tied correctly and depend greatly on the thickness and taper of the tie. I own over 20 ties and have worked in offices for a few years and can tell you from experience. People who dont live and breathe fashion take you more serious with a full windsor. A half windsor shows you care more about looking good than the job its just not proffessional.

Tl:dr the guy who signs your check probably doesnt give a shit whats cool in italy. ( not saying i dont just giving serious career advice

>>8714427
Also its not a formal occasion if you dont have to wear a tie.

>>8715039
>eldredge: pussy magnet
Lmao why dont you test that hypothesis and get back to us.

>>8715111
This

Just wear a slim tie you faggots
