Hello sir...What is difference between half Windsor and Pratt knot...Except front and back side....As a starting point....

[@khsathsovairyobhekizitha5879]

It’s just a reverse half windsor knot showing the seams of the tie

[@bunpeishiratori5849]

Half Windsor uses slightly more fabric and yields a slightly thicker knot. They are both very good knots. The best, in my opinion.

[@jerryjay1184]

It’s similar to to the half windsor knot 👀

[@khsathsovairyobhekizitha5879]

The nicky & Shelby knot has similarities

[@TheBooban]

same as half windsor

[@ReefKnotsUK]

Lots of knots are similar but there are some significant differences here.

[@TheBooban]

I skipped past the part where you said it starts back to front and big one under the little one. what the heck?! Its like half windsors evil twin!

[@TheBooban]

So the little one is always backwards when done?

[@ReefKnotsUK]

Yes, it is all backwards and the folding brings the blade the right way. The thin end remains backwards.

[@TheBooban]

Yeah got it. Now how to make that dimple you ended up with...
