The Cricket knot is characterized by its rounded, almost spherical, shape which is obtained thanks to a cylindrical core made of a cord, for example.

If you want to have a softer effect, we suggest a knitted tie: wool for winter and silk for summer.

With the latter fabric the knot tends to slip so it must be secured with care.

The tie must be very narrow and preferably of black leather, but colored plastic can be used as well.

It comes from the narrow ties of the 1950s.

It’s one of the most simple of ties.

Basically it is a 4-5 cm strip of ribbon; the knot takes attention however, as it’s rather unstable in that the fabric tends to slide easily.

With the disappearance of the waistcoat in the early 1960’s, wide ties – up to sixteen centimeters – became the norm.

This resulted in very voluminous knot.

It uses the same system as the Gordian Knot: the tie is wrapped around the neck twice before continuing with the knot, which in this case is not the Gordian but a regular tie knot.

To achieve this bottle effect at the shoulders, legs spread apart, which must be of equal size, cut at half-bottle.

It gets its inspiration from the traditional ties of the Alto Adige which, more than ties, are veritable handkerchiefs.

In this case, actually the cut, side-by-side triangle legs contribute to creating the impression of a foulard.

It’s the most neutral and most basic of tie knots.

Not wide or tight, neither long nor short.

It adapts to almost everything and is a classic.

It called that because it was worn in England by most of the populations between the 1930s and the 1970s.
