It’s cool most men don’t know how to tie are tie always ask for help comrade

[@FirstLast-ur6xt]

Absolutely nothing embarrassing about it.

[@sgtstedanko7186]

Unless you wear a tie everyday, it's not necessary to know. Or get a clip on. Those are safer anyways

[@haroldsiglerferguson7402]

No worries about it mate, I've just discovered that I don't know everything. I've started a new job and we have to use a tie. I never thought about using a tie or how to tie it up. After many years as a carpenter and also, maintenance service in a hotel,I got the job of the front desk in this very place. So I must look elegant in the eyes of the guests.

[@fsaronson]

I'm watching from a little town in Western Massachusetts called Whately. My dad was a lefty, and it turns out that every knot I tie - shoes, necktie, bowtie - are all tied lefty, as that's what he taught me (I didn't even know this until my partner pointed it out to me in my 50s!). Unfortunately, he never taught me the Full Windsor knot. I'm not sure he even knew it himself, or if he just abandoned it by the 1970s because the ties were so wide, and the fabric so thick. I'm very short and after a large weight loss, fairly thin, so some ties are just too long to wear. I'm hoping that a Full Windsor will mitigate that. This video is perfect for a lefty to follow (even though I'm a righty). Thank you so much! Unlike my peers, I enjoy wearing ties. I think it keeps my head on straight...

[@LG-qz8om]

From Texas now visiting Wisconsin. I prefer the Full Winsor knot as it is much more balanced than other. Too bad i blanked out on how to tie it but thankfully you were available to remind me. Thanks again.

Wichita Ks, I turned 40 today and turning over new leafs. My father wasn't there the most part of my life and you can call it pride I guess, but never wanted to admit I didn't know how to tie my own tie. Then I learned and realized I only knew how to tie a four in on, which I was never really happy with. It never looked right. Then I saw a movie where the guy was talking about the full Windsor and I had to learn thanks for your video.
