Discover how to tie a bow tie (Self Tie Bow Tie Knot). This easy step by step guide on how to tie a bowtie focuses on the traditional bow tie knot - aka the 'self-tie', 'freestyle' or 'tie-it-yourself' bow tie.
The bow tie is a classic style necktie, tied around the collar of a shirt in a symmetrical fashion so that the two opposite ends form loops. This style of how to tie a necktie is simple to follow and well worth the effort. Self tied bow ties have a charm and authenticity which can’t be achieved with clip-on or pre-tied bowties.

Wow, I’ve tried dozens of videos. This is the only one that doesn’t race through or go to slowly. It doesn’t skip the magic difficult part. Great video. It’s the only tutorial that makes any sense at all.

[@defragmenteur808]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your feedback 🙏

[@robert7350]

Absolutely same! Wanted to comment the same!

[@stephenlichtenthal5977]

Amazing. Took me a few because it was my very first bow tie. But a very polished and simple instructional video. British accent of narrator definitely rounds out the experience. Something about a British accent and bow ties.

[@07cars]

Being British I’m gonna guess he’s Australian 😂

[@TheBlackSpeed]

Finally, finally, finally...after EVERY VIDEO OF BOWTYING, I CAN FIND...THIS helped me. Something about THIS focusing on self-tie bow ties seemed to help. Omg. I owe you. Thank you very, very much.

[@defragmenteur808]

My pleasure! These kinds of comments make my day. Thank you!

[@piyushpatnaik1291]

Prom night I guess 😅

[@TheBlackSpeed]

@@piyushpatnaik1291 Lol what?

[@piyushpatnaik1291]

@@TheBlackSpeed I didn't mean to offend in any way. I just thought that you needed to learn how to tie a bow for prom night or a date night. 😁. Since I haven't heard of any corporate gathering having a bowtie in their dresscode

[@TheBlackSpeed]

@@piyushpatnaik1291 Haha you didn't offend me. 😂 Was just asking. And cause this comment is over 3 years old lol. I'm 34 ha (31 at the time). No more proms for me. It was for a costume if I remember. 🤔 No idea.

[@Rodrigo-yv2lk]

Thank you so much, all the tutorials I watched before this video led me to tie bow ties that I wasn't really happy with, but after I watched this tutorial I actually started tying bow ties that actually looked good! You made it seem really simple, thanks!

[@defragmenteur808]

That's awesome to hear! Thank you. Glad you found it helpful 👍

[@philipwebb960]

Been tying bow ties for years, but never thought of pinching the front flaps together to make the back loop easier to push through the knot. Excellent tip.

[@defragmenteur808]

Thank you.

[@donaldsheer]

The best tutorial on tying a bow tie I've ever seen.

[@defragmenteur808]

Thank you kindly! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏 👍

[@sihartgroves7549]

Excellent exposition; my previous efforts were always ultimately successful, but by the time I’d ended up with a passable result, the tie itself was a usually a crumpled mess: Your explanation is perfect - understanding the key stage of rotating the second bow to the vertical behind the first, and then using the doubled leading edge to start the pass through the ‘tunnel’ is what did the trick for me (rather than my standard method of using a forefinger to try to poke a crumpled wad of fabric through a too-small hole). I’ve seen no other video which gives this element of tying the importance it deserves, or that so clearly demonstrates how to implement this practical method. Many thanks.

[@defragmenteur808]

That's really great to hear! Thank you for taking time out to leave a kind comment. I genuinely appreciate it! 👍

[@avemariatu4366]

Thanks a lot, this was like the fifth or sixth video I checked and after almost an hour of frustration you finally led me to bowtie nirvana. I was really close to buying a pre-tied bow tie and call it a day...

[@defragmenteur808]

That's so great to hear! Thanks for the feedback. You've made my day 👍

[@zack4382]

since I was kid, my mom used to buy me a ready tied Bow, Pre-tied Shape Clip on, now I'm over 50 years old and still using it

[@halloeriksson]

Spent an hour and a half trying many ways of tying a bow tie before I came across your method. I got it on the first try. As with any knot having a good explanation of how to tie it makes all the difference.

[@defragmenteur808]

Really appreciate the feedback liem11. Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for dropping by!

[@annahernandez316]

You are awesome! Thank you for your video. I don't understand still, what is a self tieing bow tie? Is it because I have to self tie it myself? I'm just a mother of a bit that wants to start a bowie.

[@MxShadow8]

There are also clip on bow ties, which you don’t have to tie, so ones you do are self tieing

[@trongdyhuynhvu7016]
