About This Knot
This knot was invented by Linwood Darkis (@CrazyLinwood). It is called the taurus because if it’s bull like appearance. Although I have also seen people say it looks like a trophy. Both are interpretations are equally awesome. This knot is unlike any other knot in construction, except perhaps some of Linwoods other inventions.
Difficulty: High
It is a good amount of moves, many of which you probably aren’t used to. The length is also a little tricky so set aside some practice time.
Fabric Consumption: High
Give it plenty of slack because you will be going around and around for a while.
Symmetry: High
Considering how strange some of the moves are I am amazed how symmetrical the result is! It really does look like a bull’s head with horns on both sides.
Style: Solids, Paisley, Patterns
The general rule of thumb is, the more complex/ornate the knot itself the more tame the tie pattern should be. Stripes will get severely distorted with this knot so it might be risky.
Venue: Celebratory, Casual
It is very new and from a “traditional” point of view, quite strange. That is why I don’t think it is ready for formal settings yet. Although casually, and at parties, rock on!
Tips
- Opportunity to make a big statement
- Good with vests
- Interesting with contrast ties
- Use with shirts with wide collars
If you want a knot that looks like the female reproductive system under your chin, then have at it.
