Sven, on the odd number eyelets, start your first lace on the diagonal and then continue with the up and over lacing pattern that you describe. That way when you finish at the top of the shoe, both ends will still be even and there won't be a diagonal lace showing at the top. It will be hidden at the bottom. The result is the same but looks neater. Great vids and great information from all your topics. I have learned a tremendous amount of valuable information. Thank you for all your help!

I've noticed that bar lacing produces more friction due to the routing of the laces. To be able to get my feet into my shoes, I have to loosen the laces. And it requires me to work my way down the holes and having to repeat this process when removing them. This is unlike cross-lacing, where one can tug on the ends and take up the slack. Does what I'm saying make sense? There's another type of bar lacing which my father taught me. He used it in the military. Essentially, one loops one side of the lace continuously and runs the other end from the first hole, all the way up to the last. It leaves one visible cross-section in the laces. It's not as clean as your method, but it's quite easy to loosen and tighten the laces. Love to hear your thoughts.

You thread it like a bow-tie, yup! But you can also think of it as doing the second knot (with the loops instead of the single lace) in the opposing direction as the first (ie thread the left side on top instead of the right). Both will achieve the same result. With open lace, sometimes it’s worthwhile to loop the final eyelet outside in to get that chevron pattern and do the loop closest to the side of the tongue. Make sure you have enough clearance for the knot to show.

As long as it isn't sloppy, my main concern is the proper way to tie the shoe. Big loopy knots bothers me on oxfords. After the knot is done ,I collect it and place it between the tongue and upper part of the shoe. Look at Ashley Weston video on how to tie a knot on dress shoes. It looks a lot better!

Form should follow function. If your best argument for bar lacing is aesthetics, yet you think other styles show "everybody that you don't know what you're doing," (@1:27) then you're just being a pedantic, judgemental snob who mistakes personal preferences for _Rules of Style._ In another video, you'll tell us equally smugly that diagonal lacing on Oxfords is just sprezzatura, right?
