Here are a few interesting facts about ties:

• 80 % of ties sold in the US are purchased by women.
• A quality silk tie require about 110 silkworm cocoons.
• It's possible to buy a bulletproof tie, it would stop a 9mm bullet.
• There's 85 possible ways to tie a tie. But really, there is only four knots to worry about. The four-in-hand knot, the Pratt knot, the fancy half-Windsor and the very fancy Windsor knot!

Four in Hand is the easiest and most popular knot. It only takes four steps and works with most collars.     

The Pratt knot – Also known as the Shelby or the Nicki knot. This one takes six steps, but gives you a tighter smaller knot at the neck.

The fancy half-Windsor takes a whopping NINE steps!

The very fancy Windsor requires the same number of steps but you finish with much thicker knot.
