  1. FACT CHECKING!!!!

    I gave it a go, it's called the Edeity Knot... though I also like the one you took a picture of.

    This was my first try at it (the guy does it so fast in the video: my result was a little sloppy) - super easy to tie (reversed Windsor yea? I can't really tell, my brain doesn't work backwards).

    Any way, I really like it, like the man says - it really deserves a tie tack - and attention to detail if you're not wearing it with a vest. I tied it with two different ties and had to change my initial and ending lengths for the wide and thin blades to give more...good (go English degree)... proportions.

    Glad you called for more tie-awareness!

  2. Sloppy writing, Patrick.

    I should be clearer when I start ALLINCAPS'ing:

    There is a awesome chain of interwebz fact checking associated with 'Merovingian Knot.' I am a little crazy about specificity (usually) and jumped in to add the end result (what could be called the 'Real Merovingian Knot'), when the full story is much more interesting and also covered in thoughtful detail here:
