The '''Windsor knot''', also sometimes referred to as a '''full Windsor''' to distinguish it from the [[half-Windsor knot|half-Windsor]] or erroneously as a "double Windsor", is a method of tying a [[necktie]] around one's [[neck]] and [[collar (clothing)|collar]]. The Windsor knot, compared to other methods, produces a wide triangular knot. The knot is named after the [[Duke of Windsor]] ([[Edward VIII of the United Kingdom|Edward VIII]] after [[abdication]]), however the Duke himself did not actually use a Windsor knot. The Duke preferred a wide knot and had his ties specially made with thicker cloth in order to produce a wider knot when tied with the conventional [[four in hand knot]]. | The '''Windsor knot''', also sometimes referred to as a '''full Windsor''' to distinguish it from the [[half-Windsor knot|half-Windsor]] or erroneously as a "double Windsor", is a method of tying a [[necktie]] around one's [[neck]] and [[collar (clothing)|collar]].
