Knots 101

1. Place the tie around your collar with the wider side
draped on your right and under your right hand.
Take each side in each hand midway down the tie.
The skinny side should be a bout a foot shorter
than the wide side.

 



2. Put your right hand over your left, pull under
and across-you've just established the length of
the tie.



 
 3.  Now flip the tie from your right shoulder across to
your left and hold the knot in your left hand .


4. A great knot comes down to tension- and a dimple.
Carefully reach through the knot with your
right hand and pull up, then feed the tie down and
into itself. You will see the knot forming nicely.

 

5. To finish the tie properly, pull gently from just
beneath the knot to achieve the right tension.
Pinching the center of the tie between thumb
and forefinger is the best way to go here. That way
you'll create that all-important dimple
