I learned a new way to tie a necktie the other day. For years, I’ve known only one method of tying a tie – the four-in-hand (I didn’t even know that’s what it was called until I looked at that website). But my knot would always come out asymmetrical, and I finally got tired of it and decided to see if I could learn a new knot.

I am now the proud user of the Half-Windsor. (It sort of sounds like a wrestling move, the Half Nelson, but whatever.)

Hooray for symmetrical tie knots.
