Origin: Ashley does not describe either of the Windsor Knots. The name was created in honor of the Duke of Windsor although he preferred a Four-in-Hand himself, but tied with heavier material.

Tying the Half Windsor: After crossing the short end, the long end is passed under it and then forward beside the top button. The long end then encircles the short end before passing forward again beside the top button and down through the final loop.

Advantages: Makes a reasonably bulky and symmetrical knot.

Disadvantages: Uses a little more material than the Four-in-Hand which, therefore, means the Half Windsor may not be suitable for a short tie.
