HOW TO TIE A BOW TIE Step-By-Step The Easy Way, Slow, For Beginners - WORKS GUARANTEED

[@truthseeker000000]

this is definitely the best tutorial regarding the tying of a bow-tie. It's the easiest to follow. The Winston Churchill reference is prefect too.

@@gentlemansgazette Totally agree! I've been trying on and off to tie my bowtie correctly and totally nailed it (well, in comparison) after watching this video. I think the offset position of the camera helped with demonstrating the movements.

I second that! Yours is the only video that I left me with a success bow tie! Thank you

[@alexcooke9278]

Hey! I used this video 10 minutes before my wedding on Friday, in a hotel toilet on the Amalfi Coast after begging all the waiters for help, unfortunately all their ties were pre-tied!!! This video really helped and I was told I realy looked the part on our special day. Thank you so much for such a clear, descriptive and direct tutorial. Faithfully,Alex

That is so awesome, I'm glad you made it in the nick of time! :)

Lol, same though.

Words to live by.

[@rosanajackson4668]

They talk about imperfection because they cannot master the correct technique. I think men look awful and unkempt when their bowtie is crooked.

[@Althalus30]

Thank you for showing the hole that I needed to stick the bowtie through at the end. None of the other videos showed that, so I was having trouble sticking the finish.

[@BenBroomfield]

This! No-one mentions this, makes it SO easy.

[@gerardobarrales]

Exactly!

[@andrewmarchbankd321]

I couldn't agree more. It's so precise and straightforward. I did it over and over until I got it. I honestly have to say, I felt accomplished.

[@salsachris5678]

after struggling for ages i suddenly had a revelation and discovered that the hole you have to stick it in was at the top of the bin !! 🤣

[@himanshujasvantraytrivedi3128]

at the end, it is about finding the right hole and do the things properly.

Raphael, You helped me learn how to tie a bow tie. Thank you kindly for your research and studies of the refined gentleman and for sharing all of your videos and knowledge with the world. Your passion for classic style is similar to a musician's passion to become his/her absolute best artist possible. Bravo!

[@freshcasanova]

Awesome video! You explain a very important step that others leave out - that you have to fold the dangling end before pushing it into the loop, a huge sticking point that I figured out watching this.

[@gentlemansgazette]

+Shaun Sukul We're glad you think so, Shaun!

[@AmericanVoyages]

That's exactly what my brain can't process. I can't manage the step!

All goes well, until your hands disappear during the last step and I can’t see what you’re doing

[@hockysa]

Yeah I agree. Good explanation but not so great camera work.

[@joelp5093]

The camera cuts away at the worst possible second

[@chrisj617]

This right here. I watched that part 4-5 times because that's where I got stuck in the process. I ultimately had to move on to a couple different videos to figure the rest of it out.

You should be proud of the service you have provided to mankind with this video. All the best, my good men.

[@RaspberryJam92]

Thank you for the help! Going to a formal dinner and wanted to tie my own bow tie, you made it extremely easy! I always love your videos.

[@gentlemansgazette]

You are welcome!

[@Neontayto]

I'm a product photographer and never had to tie a bow tie until today. They've all been pre tied. This is the only video after 40 minutes that made since. Your video actually made a back loop. Goodness thank you sir!

[@briancorley1159]

My caveman brain is not allowing me to fully grasp the concept of tying a bow tie. This is a great video by the way, my wife watched it once and did it for me. :(

[@margarethannibal1719]

Aren't women just wonderful?

[@michaelbell3952]

Women can use it for a bow. The only difference is that you pull the ends down at the ends

[@mishimihendrix]

Two words: Shoe laces. You're welcome

[@harrylangdon491]

Yes, topologically speaking a bow tie and a shoe lace are treated the same, but that makes it no easier than saying you tie the bow tie the same way if you're under water.

[@TheOnlyBowl]

This is my go-to video any time I need to wear a bow tie. Step by step, and descriptions of what to look for, very easy to follow.

[@lukeradbourne974]

yes!! finally solved the mysterious "loop"

[@quinnhall8205]

Thank you so, so, so much for this tutorial. I'm a non-binary and masc-presenting person and I have two bowties...but after trying a WikiHow tutorial, I could not for the life of me figure out how to tie one. I got really discouraged. That was 9 months ago, and these bowties have just been sitting in my closet collecting dust. After watching your video, I can now tie one! It was actually a really emotional moment for me and I started crying. There are no words to explain the immense relief and gratitude I feel. Thank you ❤

[@TH3MIN3R3000]

Thank you for this tutorial! It was quite easy to follow, and I had an acceptable result after just 2 tries. Definitely one of the best tutorials I've seen for anything, but to mention for bowties.

[@Huisache520]

This was video worked for us! It was the easiest to follow and the tie came out great. Our son will be ready for his homecoming semi-formal. Thanks!

[@thedailyjankro8678]

The best demonstration I’ve seen so far. The nipping together of the bow tie ends so you can see the hole at the back is the best ever for threading through to finish the tie.

[@stitchlilo01]

The BEST bow tie instruction by far.

[@jonnykelly556]

Well son of a gun, it works! I wear a Western style bow tie a lot, and the way they were tied in the 19th Century is exactly the same way you would tie your shoelaces. The problem is that it NEVER lays properly, and some of the events I attend, that's not an appropriate way to tie it. Your tutorial made it a lot easier, and now I have a very smart looming Western bow tie. Thank you, good sir!

[@ZIGSVIDS]

I wore a bow tie for the 1st time Saturday night and you taught me to tie it. Thanks

[@para_momal]

Like so many previous comments, many thanks for this tutorial. I make cosplay outfits for others and always have just sewn bows together instead of learning to tie them. I understand there is a difference between a bow and a bowtie, but after using some old clip on bowties on a costume, I realized that the effects bowties (as opposed to handmade bows) give to the final overall look gives the entire costume more of a realistic feel instead of a professionally made costume. It's hard to explain, so I will just say thank you so very much for being a gentleman and assisting this lady.

[@johncampbell7525]

5/5 best video. I can tie a regular tie without a mirror without any problems. A bow tie though? I've looked at a bunch of different videos and step-by's but couldn't get it right. This video, first time. Solid. Thank you !

[@LentekuNFS]

"Only boys at prom wear premade bowties" My man is spittin

[@postscript67]

I was taught to tie a bow tie by an elderly shop assistant in a gents outfitters in Edinburgh in the 1980s and I have never seen the method demonstrated anywhere else. There is only one real difference from your method (apart from the fact I start with the right end longer and go right over left, which doesn't really matter), and that is the middle part. Where you make the bow tie shape with one end of the tie and then take the long end from your shoulder and loop it round, I was taught to loop that long end round my index finger first and then push the other (bow-shaped) end through the loop thus formed. From there to the end, the method is the same as yours. But I must try your method. You make it look so simple!

[@frankkopyta643]

As a retired Soldier, I take exception to the first comment about how only boys going to prom use clip on bow ties. Many Soldiers used clip on bow ties and 'regular' ties when wearing the different dress uniforms while I was in the Army. It was simple and easy. And we prefer the uniform look. As a military policeman, we would prefer the clip on tie in case someone wishing to do us harm grabbed the tie, it would simply pop off. This video was well laid out. I am considering buying a bow tie.

[@thethomasohm]

I've recently updated my style as I'm another year older. I'm not fully formal, but much more formal than I ever was. I enjoy dressing like a true gentlemen. It makes me feel more mature and more manly. Today, after 39 years of life, I tied my first bow tie. Thank you very much.

That is straightforward and easy! We’ve all been conditioned to think tying a Bow Tie is hard, when it’s not! Many thanks.

[@AlexMacKay]

It had been years since I last tied a bow tie - the times I did were frustrating and resulted in a bow tie I was not happy with (even if you say an uneven bowtie is a sign of a real bowtie - I didn't like how uneven it was) I watched this last night and immediately understood it better than any other video ever tried and I ended up tying the best bow tie I've ever made on the fewest failed attempts. So thanks! You made a difference to me! Maybe I'll start wearing them again.

I only came to own real bowties in the past year and a half or so. I also own several very nice readymade bowties that I often use for costumes. Anywho, thanks for the simple step by step instructions, a lot of other videos seem to assume that you at least have a passing familiarity so don't quite break things down quite as much.

[@hollywoodswngr]

I am not exaggerating when I say this is by far the best video I've seen. In fact I tried following your advice, got frustrated and went to other sites only to realize that with an inkling of patience you by far give the best example. Thanks!

I found this video tutorial on your website completely by chance while looking for a midnight blue tuxedo. Although I have been wearing bow ties for a few years now on and off, tying one was always an adventure and had - once! - even resulted in the demise of a very old bow tie. This video showed me the things I had been missing and I had a very literal "OMG! THAT'S how that works!" moment. After that? Easy as pie. Since my wife had only days before insisted that I wear ONLY bow ties, it REALLY was a life saver. The problem was that since I found it completely at random and hadn't taken the time to bookmark or even save the link...I could not find it again ti save my life! Here I was telling people about this amazing video that could teach them to tie a bow tie as easy as pie but I could not find it! Now that I finally have, I wanted to say thank you and tell you that I am going to share it time and time again.
