Vultuseide

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.

  In the days of the first neckties, the cloth was not cut as it is nowadays, hence it was very stiff. The knot had the shape of a flattened cylinder and generous dimensions.

Its technique is similar to that of the Big Ben. This knot is smaller because the cloth is lighter and hence may be tightened better, while maintaining a good length.

Its effect is similar to that of the Boater, however in this instance the knot is of smaller proportions and the tie is purposely cut in a bottle-like shape to create a wider effect where it exits the knot.

  To create this highly compressed, long knot one needs a narrow, soulless tie. Moreover, the fabric must be lightweight to allow the knot to be tightened properly.
