What type of tye knot is used in the CF?

[Blow]

Do you guys use a:

Windsor Knot
Half-Windsor Knot
or the plain old boring "Four in Hand Knot"

For those who don't know the Windsor has multiple complicated steps and the Four in hand is the "Toss over narrow, wrap around, up through middle, through loop... done." knot.


Are you required to tie your tie with one or the other? or just whatever you are able to do?

Windsor.

Are you required to tie your tie with one or the other? or just whatever you are able to do?

They're called Dress Instructions for a reason.

Thank you ModlrMike. We are not forced to use a Windsor i don't see my officers using them (might not know how to tie em...) but i that's the knot i always use.. wanted to know if the CF used it as a standard knot.


Thank you!

17. Necktie. The necktie shall be knotted neatly
using either a windsor or four-in-hand knot, (see
Figure 2-2-5) and shall be kept tight. Conservative
tie-pins or clips may be worn. See Chapter 6,
Annex E. When the jacket is removed, the tie shall
not be tucked into the shirt, except for safety
reasons.

Direct from the CF Dress Manual, 2-2-9.
