I usually stick with the full windsor. But the other day I fucked it up somehow and ended up with a half windsor. It looked pretty fuckin money I must admit.

When you pull the front tie blade through the knot, stick your index finger into the knot and make sure there's a channel in the middle of the blade as you pull the knot tight. In other words, the tie blade should make an /\/\ shape inside the knot with your finger in the trough in the middle. The end result will look like this:
