How to Tie The Eldredge Knot

The Eldredge is an unorthodox, complex &eye-catching necktie knot that involves 15 separate steps. It was invented by Jeffrey Eldredge in 2007 and achieved internet fame in 2008.
As opposed to the vast majority of tie knots, the Eldredge knot is produced by using the small end as the
active end. When completed, the remaining small end is hidden behind the shirt collar. The knot is large (larger than the Windsor) and creates a tapered fishtail braid-like effect. Not for the feint of heart, this knot must be worn with caution.

The Eldredge Knot Tieing Instructions



1. Start with the wide end of the tie on the left and the small end on the right. The tip of the wide end should rest at the top of your belt buckle. Only move the active (small) end.

8. Bring it across the front towards the left and through the loop made in the previous step.

9. Pull the small end towards the left to tighten.

10. Up to the center, towards neck loop. Down through the neck loop and to the left.
