four-in-hands
Carriages with teams
A four-in-hand is a carriage drawn by four horses driven by one person, or the team itself.
The term also names a style of necktie knot—the most common method of tying a tie, producing a slightly asymmetrical, tapered knot: He tied his tie in a four-in-hand.
The connection likely comes from the knot resembling reins gathered in one hand.
