Grantchester knot

By nexoye | Updated on May 13, 2025

Grantchester is a very large knot – similar to Windsor in thickness but slightly less in height. It is also notable for having the same odd shape as the four-in -hand. A large, thick and slightly asymmetrical tie knot, Grantchester Knot looks highly sophisticated. The key to wearing this knot is to stick with silk or other lightweight materials, as knits or wools look uncomfortably heavy. So in this case, you have to use a relatively thin necktie to keep it from getting too fast.
