Was half expecting to jump in criticizing this video. So much ignorance on the 'net, but, you guys nailed the reality that it's about the collar and person's face and how the tie fabric and thickness is a key factor. You guys are really winning me over.
Hey Preston, I like the facial hair. So have been watching the channel for a little while, occasionally my young boys watch with me. Since loosing a lot of weight )138lbs) I am replacing my wardrobe with a classic style. My 7 yr old asked me a wonderful question the other day he said, "Dad why are you wearing gentlemans's clothes?" i replied that I am a gentleman and am learning to dress accordingly. He noticed so I must be learning. Thanks for the typs and time put into your channel
I remember learning the Trinity knot for my high school senior portraits, and I was so excited while tying it that day. I was so proud of the menswear journey I had made since middle school, from wearing horizontally striped crew neck long sleeve t-shirts to wearing a white dress shirt and khakis with a tan tweed sport coat, a light grey fedora, and a dark brown tie knotted in that intriguing Trinity style. I thought I looked like a million bucks. We got the prints 2 weeks later and I immediately regretted (and still do 😖) that Trinity knot above all else. Oh well, it's all a learning process!
I actually think the two examples you show, the Merovingian and the villain from John Wick 4 work, but only because they're on an otherwise nearly monochrome look, where a textural difference can be very desirable. But, since that kind of monochrome look is really outside classical menswear, I think you're right that they basically have no place there, and are far too busy for the traditional tie, which is usually already the most colorful/dynamic part of the suit.
I was actually thinking the same thing, especially the one knot from John Wick since that one seemed more tame. But Preston's point on these knots being outside of the Classic Menswear style is what also what pulls me away from them.
It took me quite a while to figure out how big a factor tie construction and materials are in proper knot selection. Thank you highlighting its importance, and with excellent examples!
Do you also use the dimple that the Yanks seem to love? I however never tie a Windsor with the dimple as my farther and my grandfather would always take pride in tieing it flush and smooth witch is harder to do.
Necktie knots are what brought me into the world of menswear, now I mostly use a half Windsor knot, but I love when anyone else wears a different necktie knot.
14:01 In catalonia we have a tradition called Sant Jordi (Saint) we're roses are the most huge psrt of the tradition,thanks for showing me this knot,i'll be using it next time
Four in hand, half- and full Windsor. I really don't see the need for any other variants except for peaocking endeavors. That being said, while Preston has always looked dapper, today's look has been especially sharp. The on-point hair- and beard-game certainly did their part in it. EDIT: No, I'm NOT talking about 10:53 - or, not ONLY...
instructionals like this may seem mundane or snobbish but many jobs hv ditched wearing neckties so it's no longer a skill that we use and practice daily. thanks a lot, excellent vid as always. cheers
I had intended to try my hand at novelty knots, but I've found so few neckties that are long enough but thin enough to let met actually tie them that it simply hasn't worked out. When I was younger the half-windsor was my go-to, but I've found the Pratt to work much better. I wouldn't call it a truly universal knot but between the thickness of the material of the ties and the various shirt collar styles, I can just about always use this knot with proper tie selection for a given shirt collar and have it work out.
Hey Preston I think your beard looks really cool icl def suits you 👍 and icl I'm very basic with my tie knots I only ever use the foreign hand knot or occasionally the windsor but rarely
The Merovingian knot made for a fun alternative to my school dress code. It's the sort of knot you'd were once or twice to a function where the people already know you and you want them to ask you about it.
Long intros don’t work anymore. TH-cam has become so short attention span that a large portion of people would either click off or skip it (reducing watch time %); they’re better off keeping it as the outro
@@Kumofan true for tiktok inclined people, but target audience of Gentleman’s Gazette doesn’t overlap with people who barely can concentrate. They would turn off these videos anyway
@@CallOfCutie69 I’d agree a few years ago, but “old money” and whatnot has a pretty big overlap here-probably enough to outshine their core audience for the algorithm. TH-cam in general has moved away from longer intros, though, it’s not just the tiktok spillover. Conciseness is required for algorithm performance now, for better or for worse. Personally I don’t really mind either way; after watching basically all their videos through the years it feels a little odd that it’s not there, but it’s also pretty convenient that they get straight into the video nowadays.
Man, I really loved to make this exotic knots back in the 2010's, back then I though that taking a black shirt with a red tie with an eldredge knot to the prom was the top of elegance.
This might be a young man's opinion, but I wouldn't agree with you on the novelty knots in regards to their formality. For example, I really like to use the trinity knot with a fully black tie. Most people don't even notice it and if they do... I feel like it is a nice detail. When it comes to the eldredge, it is honestly one of my favourites because of the ability to make you stand out among the crowd of really similar looking tie knots. At least for me, it is the knot that got me the most compliments. Having said that, I wouldn't really condemn them all to just informal parties. Apart from this tiny detail, I really liked the video and it definitely inspired me to learn a few more knots, since... well, let's say I may have a slight deficiency in the classical aspect of things.
First, a very good video. Second, most informative. Now I have to ask: do your observations suggest that the coat and tie are on the way out? Thank you.
Fascinating insight as always. I still appreciate the videos even though you all don't seem to see my comments as often anymore. Out of curiosity would you ever do a video on Leisure suits? I like the idea of it but rather than those Polyester options from the 70's obviously a more modern choice. I have a few sport coats with patch pockets that pretty much go with any choice for pants. Perhaps I've answered my own question but thanks for your time.
I think I was brought up on the Old Bertie. Seems pretty universal. Hmmm...reminding me to get back on expanding my FB tie contingent. That Buff madder paisley on the pale blue shirt caught my attention this time.
My preferred style is skinny silk-knits with a Pratt knot. Dressing up I go for a half-Windsor, and for events like weddings, a Prince Albert knot (worn with a vest) is as ‘fancy’ as I get.
I typically wear the Trinity or the Eldredge as they are a sure conversation starter. And seeing as I'm quite introverted I find that they help me by making others approach me or provide a conversation pivot. They also fit my theme of being bold and expressive. I for example tend to wear army green or navy purple as an alternative to the commonly used navy blue suit. They serve the same purpose, but gives that slight touch of flamboyance. The army green looks almost charcoal grey in dark lighting and the navy purple can look kind of like navy blue in darker environments. It's almost like an iridescence effect.
I can only do Four in Hand, Prince Albert, Half Windsor and Full Windsor and am pretty much sorted with these. Never needed any other knot types as these four can cover basically all shirt collar shape and neck tie variations. 😎
Ties for me are one of the few things that I tend to be really traditional about. Full Windsor, dead straight, and it must be a wide knot. All too often I see really small knots that have no defined shape because they are too small or too tight. Use of the tie loop and pairing with a tie tack are also a must for me.
10:03 I'm guilty - MIA CULPA -- I love wearing the "Merowingian"-Knot. And guess what, I got a ton of compliments also in business and in private realms. But I only use dark collors (like a dark red or even black) and wearing a completely smooth suite, everything is smooth and in dark or "calm" colours. So the knot can shine through its geometry, it performs best with a vest on my body :) But I wear it only for special occasions.
@@Eleanor_Rigby1966 I think it just looks clean and simple honestly. It's sort of a "simplified tie knot". Works for most outfits, but that's just my view on it.
I'll always wear my trinity knot when going to church ! You could even have touched upon multiple small ties being tied together. It is extremely striking visually if you use different ties... In all that I believe these well executed novelty knots could enhance a women's dress suit outfit. Cheers
The one novelty knot I genuniely enjoyed wearing back in the day was the Murrell knot. To pull it off, use a tie made of heavier-weight material with a blade that is a different, complementary color to the rest of the tie. The knot itself is perfectly normal. The novelty is that the blade sits on the front of the tie. You have to wear a cardigan with it (or else it looks like you tied your tie backwards), but if the colors complement well and nothing is too busy, it can be a nice addition, especially since the focus is on the length of the tie from your collar to the button of your cardigan and not directly on the knot.
Years ago, when I graduated basic, we (for some unknown reason) thought it would be a good idea to tie our ties in trinity knots for graduation. We're even allowed to do it "as long as everyone did it". Uniformity and all. Years later everytime I've had to throw on a suit (wedding, funeral, court) I've always done an eldredge. Randomly saw it in a shirt one day, tried it, thought it looked unique, stuck with it. Got complimented on it by a judge when fighting a racing ticket. If ya do it with confidence, people won't question it. Stay well dressed gents!
I'm a half-Windsor type of guy for its symmetry (thanks for teaching me that long ago by the way), but for some subculture event, I like sporting something more extreme. After all, on these, a suit already draws attention. Even if downgraded with a black dress shirt. Eldridge is bulky and along with those where the short end goes under the collar, terribly inconvenient for me. For Trinity, I even did a modified version where it goes behind the wide end, but still not my favorite. But with the right, dress code breaking outfit, Merovingian knot is a blast. Easy and strangely not an attention drawer, but the keen eyed viewer will love it. As for the rose knot... I want to see Preston's attempt in full length tying that. Or even better, Michael Novotny's Nomad. It's a challenge even for me, and I'm an origami artist.
I wear a Trinity knot at work for certain things. First, when I’m giving a conference presentation about a Google Drive related topic (because the knot resembles the GDrive logo). Second…when I’m sporting my Legend of Zelda themed Triforce tie and socks (and Master Sword or Windwaker tie clip), again because the Trinity resembles the Triforce Whimsy works in my contexts though…as does nerdy Normally though…Pratt. My OCD likes symmetry (Also, the Atlantic is like the Cape without the cape, and can be fun without being too gaudy)
Another factor in knot choice is the pattern of the tie. I tried a trinity knot once; it was clearly the wrong tie because it had a busy pattern that really looked worse with an ornate (novelty) knot.
Somehow I managed to miss existence of novelty ones at all, and it is totally in my ball park. I feel some of them can be extremely well put in assemble of someone who has more unusual style and details. If that is the only detail in the outfit I'm sure it won't work
Do you think it is time to revive the turn of the 20th c. "Flowing Tie"? Consisting of a rectangle of unlined crepe silk tied into a loose bow it was worn by the "Aesthetic" men of the era- Elbert Hubbard and his followers being a prime example. It is a nice way to display a fabric rarely seen in neckties otherwise.
I recently started competing in Ballroom dancing and for my Tango I were all black (shirt, pants, vest, jacket, tie) so I use and edietay knot to spice up the outfit. But, I don't think it would work with anything else.
Hi I'm from India and I want to make one geniune request to you, that, could you please make a video on Top 50 Suit Fabrics available around the world from Bad to Good to Best categories, it would be highly helpful for people like me who most of the times get their formal wear stiched and want geniune and authetic fabrics for thier clothes?
Cloth and fabric have so many variations that are suited for different purposes that it would be impossible to give a ranking of top 50 best to worst - because what works well in a suit for you won't work well in a suit for someone else. Instead, take a look at our various fabric guides for inspiration: www.gentlemansgazette.com/category/wardrobe/fabric-wardrobe/?
Can we all just take a minute to think about what an odd bit of clothing a neck tie is? You tie it around you neck for no apparent reason. It's not like it's holding your collar closed. Then it just hangs there, presumably to cover your buttons. So why have buttons to begin with? Why not a polo shirt instead? It's such a weird thing, a tie.
@@EasyRider90 It is. But an ascot is pretty short. You tie it around your neck and there's just enough of it left to tuck into your shirt. But ties are long. Most of a tie is hidden. You can mostly see the knot. And even if you're only wearing a shirt and your jacket isn't buttoned up, there's no need for them to be so long. This is what I mean by odd. There's no need for a tie to look the way it does, but it's inconceivable to dress formally without a tie.
@@CristiNeagu I have wide neck and long torso so most of the ties that you see on feed folks tie with front and back part being the same length,I on the other side must use exclusively four in hand and buy the longest tie just to have my end meet top of trousers,so often I wear sweaters with just knot visible and tie ending to belly button. So yes ties are great accessory for shorter people with narrower necks for best looks. Never the less I do find them cool

The price Albert knot is one I Use most
You can make a Windsor fit almost any collar ;)
Which collar styles would a Windsor knot be unsuited for?
I don’t know about anyone else but I miss the old intro
Eldridge and Trinity are the best and any windsor is boring.
That's it.
That's my opinion.
Personally, I don't like knots like the eldrege very much.
you forgot to mention the pre tied ties 💀
The Merovingian wore a black tie on a black shirt, so I cannot tell what knot he wore.
The intro rip 🫡
Do a shot every time he says "not" but not "knot".

That 1970s super wide tie is absolutely not classic style
That's not "super wide" at all. Preston's just thin as a rail.
Can we all just take a minute to think about what an odd bit of clothing a neck tie is? You tie it around you neck for no apparent reason. It's not like it's holding your collar closed. Then it just hangs there, presumably to cover your buttons. So why have buttons to begin with? Why not a polo shirt instead? It's such a weird thing, a tie.
Has been around for a couple of hundred of years in some way. Check out the book by Francois Chaille if you're interested.
@@teekue Not saying it hasn't. I'm just saying it's strange.
Its a pizaz like ascot to make man feel more self aware
@@EasyRider90 It is. But an ascot is pretty short. You tie it around your neck and there's just enough of it left to tuck into your shirt. But ties are long. Most of a tie is hidden. You can mostly see the knot. And even if you're only wearing a shirt and your jacket isn't buttoned up, there's no need for them to be so long. This is what I mean by odd. There's no need for a tie to look the way it does, but it's inconceivable to dress formally without a tie.
@@CristiNeagu I have wide neck and long torso so most of the ties that you see on feed folks tie with front and back part being the same length,I on the other side must use exclusively four in hand and buy the longest tie just to have my end meet top of trousers,so often I wear sweaters with just knot visible and tie ending to belly button. So yes ties are great accessory for shorter people with narrower necks for best looks. Never the less I do find them cool
Don't wear ties if you want to look good.
I have found that some of your ties are too narrow and the knot is too small.
Sorry Preston but cutaway collars are neither smart or sophisticated.
Care to share more about your thoughts on cutaway collars?
