About This Knot
Originally this knot is called the Ediety, just for fun, I am going to pretend it was invented by a Frenchman but don’t quote me on that. It gained momentum when it was seen in the Matrix 2 being donned by the always-posh Merovingian, which is the name I prefer. This knot is very special, it looks as if your tie is actually wearing a little miniature tie! It will turn heads. It isn’t all flowers and rainbows however. This knot needs more prep than most. You need to hide how the tie ends when wearing the Merovingian knot. Be it with a vest, cardigan, blazer, sport coat, or suit, you need to cover it up! The knot is important to show, the ends are important to hide.
Difficulty: High
It isn’t any harder, from a folding perspective, than a Windsor. However the inverted orientation does up the ante. It is somewhat disorienting to tie it until you get the hang of it. You just always feel like you aren’t doing it right until you are all the way done.
Fabric Consumption: High
It has a high consumption but that hardly matters because you are planning to cover it up with a vest, cardigan, or suit right?
Symmetry: High
It is just as symmetrical as the Windsor but that is hardly the talking point of this knot.
Style: Any
Each different tie type brings something special to this knot. Experiment with all of the different ties you have to see which work the best. Sometimes paisley really looks outstanding when layered this way. Stripes also create a very cool effect. Of course with solids, you get to really bring emphasis to the knot itself.
Venue: Celebratory, Casual
The knot is fun-loving and catchy. Take after the Merovingian from the Matrix and wear it out to a nice dinner.
Tips
- Excellent with a contrast ties
- Stripes can create interesting effects
- Optimal with vest, cardigan, or suit
- Your tie is wearing a tie

Why is it called the ‘Merovingian”?? Does it have anything to do with that dynasty??
It is striking for sure
It’s called the Merovingian because a character in the film Matrix Reloaded, named the Merovingian, was sporting that same knot during the brief appearance he made in the movie.
Less is more, people. If you think the feedback is positive, you’ve been lied to.
I thought you should know I ordered ties from Ediety that never shipped. After contacting them they apologized and said they would send an extra tie. Still no ties tried to contact them again they will not answer. I am now having to dispute payment with credit card company.
Geezuz that has nothing to do with actual edeity.
Hi, I am edeity, the guy who invented the knot. Note the spelling – ei.
The story behind the knot, about 4 years after I invented it a 20yr old american decided he invented it and posted a heap of youtubes. He was a bit of a dick about it. Then he decided to try make some money from his “invention”.
I released the knot years earlier in a pdf intentionally that it would not have copyright. So everything about him is utterly abhorrent. Anyway, the business that is not sending you money has a relationship with him.
Sorry. You got screwed over by a dick on the internet.
I am sorry that happened to you. I have received several similar complaints and I wish there was more I could do. I am in no way affiliated with Edietty and I am not sure what is going on over there. At the time I worked with them they seemed to be reliable and legit.
The knot was created by an Australian named ‘edeity’. The name was spelled incorrectly as it was shared. It was originally shared via PDF as there was no YouTube. Edeity’s kids are nonplussed that he created a wholly original tie knot.
So, fun plot twist:
Add an extra layer from the last two steps for an Eldredge/Ediety twist. Requires severe tweaking at the end, but looks absolutely spectacular.
Do please clarify.
I started doing Tie Tuesday and Tie Day Friday at the office and I’ve used almost all of these knots so far. I have only gotten positive feedback. I’ve also worn them to dinner parties and the ladies love the different knots. These videos are fantastic; keep ’em coming.
#Gnarly as fu*k. It’s different but can be worn at a business formal event!
These ties are amazing. I wear a tie to work a few times a week and I impress people with all of these ties. You have to have imagination to wear these and walk with confidence. If you do nobody will doubt you about this tie!
It looks like you put two ties together, like the idea….how long is your final tie?
The length should end up identical to a double windsor knot.
These knots are good if someone is trying to be on MTV cribs, otherwise you’ll be laughed out of town is my take on it. No one in real society or true business power would walk around like this.
I have been wearing them for a long time and my feedback has been 99% positive.
Like Alex (@lexKrasny), I too wear “fanciful” knots, and I always get positive responses. And no, I don’t believe they are sarcastic admirations. While I would not wear this one at the office, I have worn knots like the Elderidge Knot in professional settings without loosing credibility.

Since I started wearing several of the knots seen on this site (This one included) I have gotten nothing but positive responses. People have asked me where I learned to tie this, or where I found it. I have referred quite a few people to this site that were interested in these knots. That’s the thing about “real” society, there isn’t just one size fits all. Where you’re from this might get “laughed out of town”, but that’s not everywhere.
I love it!
