What knot do you use?

[McElmurry]

I use a knot called the "Shelby Knot" (also called the Pratt Knot) because I have a longer torso and it leaves the tie a bit longer. It has a nice triangular shape to it. For my torso, with a standard Windsor, the tie ends up being a little short, and I don't like the look of the half-Windsor as it looks asymmetrical to me.

I use the Pratt due to my height as well.

Also, there is something about a knot that starts out backwards that fits my personality.

I just tried the trinity knot on a tie, and I am glad that I did a test run before wearing it to a party this week. It came out looking horrible due to my choice in ties. The same tie looks fine with several knots but the trinity is not among them.

It's a fabulous knot, to be sure, but it require the right tie and shirt collar to show it off to its fullest potential.

McElmurry, ditto re: the Pratt knot (or any knot) reflecting personality and BCAC's comment about your choice of tie.
