because y'all like my wardrobe stuff

So this morning I finally figured out how to tie a half-windsor. Yes, I was using a shitty knot (four-in-hand) before this. I feel so stupid it took this long for me to get it, although I do lay some of this on being left-handed and so no drawing of this sort of thing can make sense to me ever, but I almost don't care how stupid I feel about having not gotten it, because I am so hideously pleased with myself now.

Of course, this was a random, half-asleep grokking of it, so I'm not actually sure I'm going to be able to repeat the feat, but I think so. Anyway, this knot? fucking superior.

Probably so, yeah. Also, look at popular politicians. I bet anything Obama knows how to tie a half-windsor, but he always ties his ties with a four-in-hand.

Yeah. I also always notice the dimple on his ties, which is a hassle to do with a four-in-hand, and as I discovered today just happens with the HW, which made me very happy.
