As you can see through the previous necktie knot posts, those tying methods are all based on the traditional style with a minor change. In fact, all the methods are just playing some tricks within such a small space. The non knot we introduce is a similar way as well.

Take a close look at the following demonstration and you will find the trace of the four-in-hand knot. The rules are that all the parts facing inside before are outward now. The hidden parts from the four-in-hand knot are all exposed to the public.

Following the introduction of cross knot and double knot, we take a look at the balloon tie knot.
Balloon Tie Knot
In fact, the balloon knot can be regarded as a highly cost-effective fun way to tie a necktie. This way comes from the basic four-in-hand knot so it is easy to learn and the effect is significant. It can catch other people’s eyes from the unique knot.
Well, you could see that the balloon knot is that easy. Once you finish the four-in-hand knot, don’t pull the tie to the end, but rather deliberately set aside a part of the tie to form the balloon effect.
Final look for balloon tie knot
Take a look at the effect diagram and you are going to love this tie which is perfect for the balloon knot. On the one hand, the tie knot part is plain so the final knot is highlighted without disturbance. On the other hand, there are eye-catching patterns in the theme part of the tie so you can be seen from a distance.
Yesterday we introduced the double knot for neckties. We are talking about the cross knot today.
Cross Knot - Tie A Tie
As for the shape of necktie knot, most people think there is a certain fixed stereotype. Among the funny tie knots, they catch the attention through the challenge of traditional thoughts. The cross knot is one of the challengers.
From the above diagram, you will find that the cross knot is different from the others. The final tie knot is divided into two halves and the effect looks interesting. First of all, you should be absolutely confident if you choose this tie knot. It means you can withstand the contempt from others by the unusual ways of knotting. Second, the plain silk ties can do a better job for this knot because the knot itself is already too catching. The plain necktie can highlight the unique knot itself. Finally, the knot is different from the four-in-hand knot and how to make the stripe on the knot beautiful is the key to this knot.
The final effect of this knot is attached. A tie pin is also used but it seems few people use it in recent years.

An article on how to tie a tie was posted before. However, that post focuses on the how to tie a knot and ten ways are introduced. Here we focus on the details for each knot and what is the benefit for that knot.
Double knot is an easy variety of four in hand knot. Actually, it just adds one more around during your wrapping the triangle tie knot.

The only extra work is just one extra round than the normal four in hand. So the double knot can solve the problem if you have an extra long necktie. As for the aesthetic benefits, the key is the exposed wrapping loop from the underneath because of the double loops. It can add a bit relaxation feel for the serious dress code from the necktie.

In the current market, no matter department stores, retail stores, or online necktie store, you will find that almost all neckties are tagged with “100% silk ties” but have a quite large range of prices. Here we assume that all tags are correct and the men’ ties are made of silk. Even with that, you could find the cheapest ties are lower than $10 each, most of ties are labeled around $30 - $70 each, some neckties are over $70 or even much more. They are all made of 100% silk but why the prices are so different? The essential reasons are explored in the following sections.
The biggest cost difference is based on what color dying technique the manufacture uses or what the requirement of the wholesale buyers. How are the silk tie colors coming from? There are two techniques of silk tie dying during the manufacture. One is yarn dyed and the other is printing. The first one, also named as colored woven, is a process that the yarns of silk are dyed before they are woven. It means that the color is dyed first and then the silk fabric is woven. Obviously, the printing means all the colors are printed on the woven silk fabric. That means that the necktie fabric is woven first and then the desired color is printed on the fabric. All the colors of yarn dyed silk ties are woven with the colored yarns with an expensive necktie equipment. However, the printing has no need for that machine so its cost is much less than the dyed yarn silk ties.
Mostly the expensive merchandise must have certain advantages over the cheaper one. The yarn dyed silk ties have brighter and more durable color than the printing neckties. The yarn dyed silk ties also have more vivid and real 3D feel pattern. However, the patterns of printing silk ties look plain and superficial.
Now we can judge which is which for all 100% silk ties based on the price. If under $10, usually it is the printing silk tie except a big sale. $30 - $70 is the normal price for the dyed yarn silk ties in the current market. The difference is mainly for the store brand, store location, silk tie brand itself. If over $70 or even hundred, definitely a luxury brand if you are the fan of a brand. How do you find high quality dyed yarn silk ties with a much cheaper price than traditional? Search online silk tie stores which are sourcing directly from necktie manufacturers. For example, http://www.tietosuccess.com provides over three hundreds silk tie designs which are all made of 100% dyed yarn silk. The best part is that all silk ties are only CAD $15 each with factory direct sourcing. Enjoy your online necktie shopping there!
