Orientation: The knot is photographed from the viewpoint of the wearer. To see alternative views, select Mirror, Inverted or Rotated .
Origin: Ashley describes the Four-in-Hand Necktie knot (ABOK # 2407, p 384) . He links the name to a "horsy background". The long ends are supposed to resemble the reins of a "four horse carriage". Hence, four-in-hand. Tying the Four-in-Hand: This is the simplest of the necktie knots. The long end is passed across the short end, then "looped" round the short end, and then passed forwards by the top shirt button and down through the final "loop". 
Advantages: Simplicity and speed. Disadvantages: Almost always makes an asymmetrical knot. Structure: Although they look remarkably different, the Four-in-Hand and the Buntline Hitch have identical structures. |
