It's spring here in Europe, but we're international... right? I use the reverse drape cross a lot, though I've used the chest warmer while wearing a suit a couple of times, this past winter.

Which one will kill me fastest if caught in a machine?

I couldn't tell you, I'm in this crazy line of business where I don't usually have to be around machines. Or at least not in an environment cold enough to warrant a scarf.

I admire your drive for efficiency, though. I won't judge your ambitions, you do you man.

I don't know what kind of psycho came up with the Chest Warmer but it should be illegal.

Don't knock it 'til you try it. Wearing a suit, under the jacket, it's really nice and looks quite stylish.

I use a European/Parisian knot when I where a scarf because I don't like a scarf feeling loose and I've dyspraxia so struggle with tying knots and the Parisian knot is simple as hell.

Okay this is very interesting, but I dont think i have ever spent any thought on how my scarf is wrapped. According to this I use the fake knot all the time because its quick and easy.

Well, if you're ever someplace where it's colder, or use it on the bicycle like I do, the reverse drape cross is really nice. It keeps the cold out very well and it doesn't come loose too easily.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I am, and I do (Germany). Will give it a try next fall, but generally I found it sufficient to just tighten the fake knot a bit when its windy.

What is this. Where's the: it's actually fucking cold and please get all over my face so my eyes barely poke out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Reverse drape cross with a nice long and broad scarf, my friend. Okay so there's no eye holes, but there's a nice cocoon to hide most of your gob in.

I like how it seems to keep getting more and more complicated until you get to... it goes around twice :)

It takes a true master to master รï๓ρℓïςïтγ.

I guess parisian knot is my default but sometimes I'll reverse drape or chest warmer (without the full behind-the back, my scarf is not that long)

[–] WhyDoYouPersist 3 points 7 months ago

Once around and overhand here, I think I've worn a scarf five times in my life: south US.

@toothpaste_sandwich I'll never understand why people upvote these random, pointless infographics. Most of these are, obviously, ridiculous made-up nonsense made to fill out a listicle with a number you've never seen before. Don't worry, if there's a worthwhile way to tie a scarf, you already know about it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

In all seriousness: I myself was really helped by this infographic. The two styles of tying that I mentioned have really helped me out and for the life of me I'd have never thought of them myself. I enjoy infographics like these as an aid in creativity.

It's a shame you don't enjoy them, but for me this was really not pointless. I feel kind of sad that you call them that, really. Makes me feel like I am lacking in creativity, somehow, compared to you. I've been working on self-esteem lately, and I'm slowly getting to a place where I can tell myself otherwise now, but that's the kind of effect a reply can this can have on people, I suppose.

Ah, the reverse drape cross and the chest warmer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

@toothpaste_sandwich alright. I'll tell you, I've never seen the "chest warmer" in person, it looks pretty silly to me, but if it keeps you warm, enjoy it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I mean, without a jacket over it, it does look pretty silly. But with, it's kind of like a vest. I enjoyed it this winter, what can I say!
