I find the half-windsor too regular. It looks like the wearer is trying too hard, and that flies in the face of the dégagé air that defines the really well dressed man. But I'm not exclusively a four in hand man. I'll throw an extra wrap around the knot when the toe is too long, or thinly lined.

I was wondering why you do not care for the half-windsor? Is it with Willie Brown's specific shirt collar or do you not favor that knot generally?

Why limit oneself to the four-in-hand knot when you recommended Tomas Fink's book "85 ways to tie a tie"? Or is the recommendation for Mayor Brown, specifically (and in that case, why)?Sartorial regards,J

laguna beach trad,I defy you to justify your comparison of WB and either of the murderous despots you mentioned.

Diego, the four in hand is the knot favored by most well-dressed men. It's just a bit more relaxed and casual.

I'm a novice at (clothing) style and would like to know what knot you prefer Mayor Brown to wear on that image.Thanks and great website to learn the fundamentals of dress style for a man

My apologies, Will, I forgot that Willie Brown is an apt choice for an April 1st post.

Willie can definitely dress. While I disagree with many of political positions (I am a Southern Californian after all), I give him kudo's for sticking to his convictions. No one can say he flip-flopped on the issues. Although, he is the poster child for term limits.I'm surprised you didn't pick the Governor to analyze, Will. From other blogs/websites, his sartorial flair and personal style

I like how in the 3rd picture his socks complement his tie. And I like how he does not feel the need to wear pins on his lapel.Happy April.

Laguna,If anyone can find a photo of Uncle Joe in a navy blazer and grey flannels, I wouldn't mind seeing it at all.

Ah, another post on the "Politician Style" theme. Willie Brown is a pretty despicable character, IMVHO, even if Wilkes thinks highly of him (WB is a good customer, after all). Perhaps if he spent less time focusing on his clothing... What can we expect next, an analysis of Stalin's pocket squares or what kind of knot Pol Pot used? ;)
