Chris Gause sent in this Polka Dot Fat Knot. It is from the Perry Ellis Portfolio Collection and he found it on sale at Dillard’s. Price was $25 with tax. Dominant fat knot, Chris G!

Fat Knots Year in Review

I thought it’d be cool to try out Animoto with a set of Fat Knots that have been posted over the last year or so. Check it out:

Happy Thanksgiving from rockthefatknot.com! Even our turkey rocked a fat knot (made from bacon)!

Election Endorsement

Several people have asked about rockthefatknot.com making a presidential endorsement for tomorrow’s election. To be honest, I have not seen a (major party) presidential candidate really rocking a fat knot. Most seem to utilize a half windsor knot. This pains me greatly. I’d rather them not wear a tie if they are not going to rock a fat knot. So, there cannot be an endorsement for president. However, I have encountered an image of a candidate in the race for S.C. House District #33…

Lanny Littlejohn knows how to rock a fat knot. He’s been representing my district for quite some time. I believe he does a great job. He also knows the importance of rocking a fat knot. That’s why rockthefatknot.com is officially endorsing Lanny Littlejohn in tomorrow’s election.

Fat Knot Re-Rock

I decided to “re-rock” this orange fat knot in celebration of Halloween and the arrival of Fall. It’s a high quality tie from the Steve Harvey Collection.

10/19/2008 Fat Knot

I picked up this tie at Stein Mart for $12.99. It’s got a Rooster brand tag on it. I’m not too familiar with that brand but the tie fabric is good for rocking a fat knot. A quick google for ‘rooster tie’ sent me here. Based on the prices listed there, I’d say the Stein Mart price is a good one.

The Grace G. Brown Memorial Fat Knot

My grandmother, Grace Brown, passed away last week. She loved the color pink and she was buried in a pink dress. I picked up a new pink tie to wear at her funeral. I got this one from Stein Mart for $14.99. The brand is Jones New York. I’ve been really impressed by the last few Jones New York ties that I’ve picked up. All have been really good for rocking a fat knot.

Guest Fat Knot: Andrew Corbin

My brother very rarely wears a tie. So, when he sported one this weekend, I had to document it. Even blue-collar-chevy-2500HD-drivin-tractor-lovers like to rock a fat knot! Good job, Andrew!

Economic Bailout: Fat Knot Edition

Warren Buffett rocks a Fat Knot

I don’t feel that I have the economic wisdom or experience to provide commentary on the recent debates over the proposed economic bailout. However, I do have the ability to comment about a good tie selection. Warren Buffett should be commended for sporting a dominant fat knot on this cnn.com article. For the sake of future fat knot acquisitions, I hope our leaders are able to continue working toward the best solutions for these very difficult problems.
