1. four-in-hand

   The four-in-hand knot is a method of tying a necktie. It is also known as a simple knot or schoolboy knot, due to its simplicity and style. Some reports state that carriage drivers tied their reins with a four-in-hand knot, while others claim that the carriage drivers wore their scarves in the manner of a four-in-hand, but the most likely etymology is that members of the Four-in-Hand Club in London began to wear the neckwear, making it fashionable. The knot produced by this method is on the narrow side, notably asymmetric. For United States Army uniforms, and United States Navy uniforms that include a necktie, the four-in-hand knot is one of three prescribed options for tying the necktie, the other two being the half-Windsor and Windsor.

1. four-in-hand

   A four-in-hand can represent two things: 1) It is a carriage drawn by four horses driven by one person. The term originally referred to a carriage with four horses driven by one driver who held all the reins in one hand, hence the name. 2) It is also a method of tying a necktie in a particular style, which is one of the most common and versatile tie knots. The term "four-in-hand" is also used to describe a long, narrow knot in a necktie. This knot is named after the 19th-century gentleman's club of the same name.

1. Four-in-hand

   A four-in-hand is a carriage drawn by a team of four horses having the reins rigged in such a way that it can be driven by a single driver. The stagecoach and the tally-ho are usually four-in-hand coaches. Before the four-in-hand rigging was developed, two drivers were needed to handle four horses. However, with a four-in-hand, the solo driver could handle all four horses by holding all the reins in one hand, thus the name. The four-in-hand knot used to tie neckwear may have developed from a knot used in the rigging of the reins. Today Four-in-hand driving is the top discipline of combined driving in sports. One of its major events is the FEI World Cup Driving series.
