1. Place the tie around your neck, with the wide end of the tie on your right. The wide end should hang about a foot lower than the narrow end. With more experience, you will know exactly how much longer the right side should be in relation the left side. |
 |
2. Now cross the wide end over the narrow end, and then back underneath with the back side of the wide end facing up. |
 |
3. Continue by bringing the wide end back over in front of the narrow end again as seen here. Keep pinching the two ends together with the other hand so everything stays in place. |
 |
4. Once again the back of the wide end should face up after it has been crossed over the narrow end. |
 |
5. Bring the wide end through the loop around your neck. |
 |
6. With the front of the knot still loose, take your fingers and hold the knot open as you pull the wide end over the loop and through the front of the knot. |
 |
7. Remove your fingers and tighten the knot carefully while sliding it up to the collar. |
 |
8. Be sure to hold the narrow end of the tie with one hand while sliding the knot upward with the other. |
 |
9. You can continue to tighten the knot while pulling down on the narrow end of the tie. It might take a little adjusting until it looks just right. |
 |
10. The finished product should look like this with a dimple in the middle. The narrow end of the tie should not be below the wide end. The tip of the wide end should not go below your belt. It may take of couple of tries before you get the hang of it. |
