How to Tie A Perfect Balthus Necktie Knot

The Balthus is as large as necktie knots come. Due to the sheer size of the knot, the finished tie will be very short when completed.

This is a great knot. Especially if you wear a three piece suit, and even though the tie is very short, you won’t be able to really tell because the vest is hiding the rest of the tie. Thank you for the video.

Thanks guys! Best man for a wedding, I have 15 minutes until they get here, made this just in time! Perfect!

The knot looks great but I wish there was a way to tie that same knot but with the tie at an appropriate length instead of so short.

[ayushgaidhani]

So basically it's same as the full Windsor knot with and extra turn to add thickness and shorten the length.

My favorite knot and currently seen more frequently thanks to the Hannibal series. It must be worn with a vest, though. If you would have shown that I'm sure there would have been less negative comments

Thanks for the vid. Some shirt collars are not made for ties and a half Windsor w the sides showing make u look like a bumpkin. This knot is massive and covers the lateral spread and makes me look like I know what I’m doing!

Pro tip: if you like this look, buy a big/tall size necktie to compensate for the short length

The cravat, as a symbol of elegance and cultivation, originates from the Croats. Namely, the Croatians were bound in themselves with the paintings of the paintings. This "Croatian style" won the Parisian bandwagon and they adopted a new fashion item "a la Croate"! So the tie went into the city's fashion and won Europe and the rest of the world. Apart from French and German, the word tie is also mentioned in some other European languages. The tie as an expression appears in the 17th century. The meaning of the term was initially different, from the expression of the Croatian horseman to the fashion detail. Permanent fighting against the Turks, they made Croatians very valued soldiers. Sold Croatian soldiers had a unique military uniform, using a recognizable detail of the neck around the neck, the forerunner of today's cravat. The reason why Croatian soldiers wore such knobs around the door can be found in the Croatian puppet tradition. The brides gave their fiancées a fringe as a sign of mutual fidelity. It was initially made of linen linen and lace, and often of very precious silk. Silk scarves, besides their beauty, also had another function - due to the slipperyness of the material itself, the soldiers' neck was often kept in the battle, because the blade of the sword would simply slip through the maram without causing cuts. This at first military clothing item is soon to be used in the fashion of the second half of the 17th century: French King Louis XIV. it starts to wear because of its simplicity with respect to high collars and even employs a personal cravat. From France, Europe is expanding, and the English are introducing a specific method of engagement, as well as colorful colors. The American textile Jesse Langsdorf cuts the fabric in three parts and sews it again, making it easier to tie and manufacture. Many people are surprised to know that Croatia is home to the tie, and the biggest cravat distributors; Croate, Michelle and Stephen Crocker, add: "What's coffee for Brazil, and watches for Switzerland, it's a tie for Croatia." On October 18, 2008, the Croatian Parliament proclaimed the Day of Ties. Since then, Dan is cravating and officially celebrating in Croatia and in some parts of the world.

What’s the difference between this and the full Windsor knot?

[chefkdowg]

Cool, great job, looks like a Windsor knot but starting the tie flipped over

[saltydemon]

I see a lot of people here surprised by the final lenght. Remeber, there are different sizes of ties, usually ranging frome 147 to 160 cm, so if you ever have a widespread or Italian collar and need to make a Balthus(the biggest knot to my knowledge), make sure your tie has the right lenght
Plus, ties were shorter before, so ties worn very short (around the belly button with a high rise trouser for instance) are good for a vintage style, but the tie has to be wide, at least 8, 5 cm

I would like a wake up call at 3 AM and at 7 AM.

So like a double windsor but with one more step?

[DylanPattyn]

Nice knot but unless I'm wearing a vest it's too short

[JentasticVintage]

Why doesn’t a company just make ties that are specifically for this type of knot so they will be a more appropriate length? The knot looks great but the length makes it look like a child’s tie.
