    For me, it's a half Windsor, and a Shelby for shorter ties. At least on me, a full Windsor just seems too bulky. However, I'm going to have to try that Eldridge. It has a real flair to it.

    I like the full windsor. I agree the half looks asymmetrical.

    As a Buchanan, I would think you'd be quite used to that.

    Windsor knot for me, I like it's symmetry. I also think that Eldridge is interesting.

    Recently I've started using the Christensen as a change-up from the Windsor.

    I have the book mentioned in the above link, 85 way to tie a tie. Its a great book. I got it many years ago an enjoy trying different knots, i wear a tie every day to work. Its good to be able to pick a knot to suit the tie and shirt collar style, St Andrew knot on 30th November :-)
