I spent 3 years trying to find a video on how to tie a good tie. When I found this one it helped so much. Before I couldn't tie a tie to save my life but now people are coming to me to tie their tie. Thank you.

[@uwohilaawina]

I have watched a hundred videos trying to learn this. If I'm exaggerating, it's not by much. Yours was the only one that led to the desired outcome. Thank you sir.

[@MichaelM1349]

Thanks for helping out an NCO Sir!!! So many videos out there and this is the only one that isn’t confusing!!!

[@marfon9467]

Watched other videos on how to knot my husbands tie and this is the only one that helped. Thank you!

[@TownleyVM]

So glad to hear. Happy tying. :)

[@michaelochoa2710]

It's funny, I wanted to look back at this video because it helped me through my years of high school. It's great looking at the comments, I first used this video 2017-2018, I should have left a comment thanking you. If you ever read these comments. I am doing it now, as I'm a senior and the new cadets are learning, I've shown them this video because it is an amazing one. Thank you!

[@TownleyVM]

Thank you so much. I'm so happy to hear that this video helped you so much. Where are you a cadet?

[@jthorne1358]

Every year I search the internet to relearn this skill. You have broken it down to be so simple that I may have genuinely understood and learned this skill, finally! Thank you Sir, much appreciated.

[@paytonkrug7228]

Thank you so much Captain Townley, I just graduated from new cadet training at New York Military Academy and I kept messing up my tie. I watched your video and I got it after like 20 minutes of trying to figure it out lol. Thank you

[@norwalk2630]

Honestly the best tie a tie video, never have i been able to learn how from the other ones

[@senselessjet0715]

Thank you sur I am lcpl Deschamps from 1596 army cadet and I got a perfect score

[@kaitlynalm2478]

thank you, as a first year cadet i didnt know how to tie this knot, very helpful

[@breakthru7608]

Only tie video ( I've watched far too many) where I can actually understand what's going on. Nice work

[@johnvmi27]

Excellent video this is how I teach my Cates to make a military single knot tie. I'm a Cadet Major at a Military Academy and I would like to add that my Cadets are required to wear a Tie Tack and a Tie Bar. Tie Bar must be completely in the middle and tie tack 1/4 down from the neck of the shirt.Taking a ruler I measure the bottom of the knot to the top of the tie Bar.And the I measure from the bottom of the tie bar to the bottom of the tie.Tie must sit half way down the belt loop.If tie does not land right in the middle of the belt loop demerits are issued.

[@henryhowell2610]

Thank you townley im a gunner at the lethbridge army cadet program and i couldnt do i tie but your video really helped me

[@kc0jtl]

When I was in the Army I always used, and still use, a double Windsor knot. I think it looks more professional.

[@core5748]

Just wanted to say my thanks. Never tied a tie before and was now required to for my new role in the military and can now say I'm tying like a pro.

[@ronaldallen7311]

Graduating BLC tomorrow and this saved my ass haven’t worn my blues since AIT

[@spcwholesome5720]

I watch this every morning when doing my tie for uniform day only because I mess up around the end. Thank you sir.

[@mosesrodriguez3966]

Thank you for your service, to the nation, and to my uniform inspections

[@bird4522]

I'm writing this as I go to school in uniform for the first time and all I can say is thank you.

[@bizcaya]

Excellent explanation and footage, got in right in less than a minute after this! What a rarely see mentioned, the Half Windsor is a great choice over the Four- in- Hand if you have a bit longer tie.

[@matthewortiz9428]

Thank you sir. I’m a cadet in JROTC and this saved my ass for future inspections

[@industrialbleach8876]

Only tie video that actually taught me to tie a tie thank you

[@elemon2004]

[@Alexwelch5970]

U r my life saver I have cadets today and did not know how to do itt

[@TownleyVM]

Emily Welch, I'm so glad to hear the video was helpful. Enjoy all your experiences with cadets.

[@ricanpedro2596]

Nice thank you it helped me a lot especially when I did it for my JROTC uniform for my dress blues (ASU)

[@joeydepalmer4457]

when I was in we had to do a full Windsor and we had to dress the small end with the working end (match length the ends). Do like the video though. great demo. only way I learned to tie a tie was with my sgt major standing behind me with his arms around me while showing me how to tie it

Thank you today was a uniform day in Jrotc

[@chaidencorbin4226]

ive spent at leat 30 minutes and this is the only video that works

[@duongthuy5591]

I wanna watch this video all day

[@Treyonclaw]

Thank you so much bro I didn’t know what to do and the other videos were way harder then this

[@TownleyVM]

You’re very welcome

[@thegreatestgeek2598]

The full/double Windsor knot is far to chunky that’s why I love the half/Single.

[@TownleyVM]

I agree, thanks for your comment.

[@kennixox262]

Maybe I'm old but I learned how to tie a tie when I was 8 years old. Now, at that age, my knots were not the best but eventually, I perfected my technique. Do parents not teach their children such skills in this day and age?

[@TownleyVM]

It's not as common as it once was.

[@docrock3696]

Thx, works great!

[@Fede_uyz]

Cpt, thanks for the video, i have a question regarding tucking your tie to the shirt, i know the (very) old regs would allow for it and it was pretty common, i wonder what about now, specially with the new (old) army dress uniform comming up

[@TownleyVM]

Federico Olivares The only time you will see the full time is when you are dressing, so when you are fully dressed with tie, only the knot shows. Therefore anything below that will not be seen. Hope this helps.

[@Fede_uyz]

Tim Townley alright, so there's no army regs against tucking the tie (while wearing class A's and B's) ? Also, is it common now a days? (i really look up to the US army and sadly, because i'm a foreigner i cant join, so i have to satisfy my desire by simply learning, also, having done Army JROTC while i did an exchange year didnt help, i wish i could enlist)

[@jacecarter3579]

Captain, if I may ask, what do I do with all the extra stuff in the narrow end Sir? It goes down about a foot below the thick end.

[@clunkCA]

There should be a little tag on the back of the tie that you put the narrow end in so it doesn't show.

[@gabrielbernstein2727]

If that’s the case, then I would say you should untie the tie, then do it again, but this time when you start, have the narrow end of the tie be in about the center of your breast (this was the best for me

[@hannahtourangeau6421]

Thank you so much sir you have saved my life

[@TownleyVM]

You are very welcome.

[@M4CB]

Best video on the subject

[@thomaswilliams430]

Can’t see the whole tie would help so much actually seeing what is happening

[@Time782]

This should be on every unit's webpage.

[@cameronrucker3891]

I'm not going to lie I watch this at least once a year lol

[@TownleyVM]

So glad you have use of it.

[@oatmilf9613]

Perfect!

[@edulas1957]

Life saver

[@issadabre6691]

Thanks

[@johnvmi27]

If distance on the tie position is not 50/50 4 demerits are issued 2 for the top 2 for the bottom. Yesterday was my Brother who is an 8th grade cadet first day.I issued him 40 demerits for Dress violations. Then there was a problem with His platoon and nobody owned up to it with that all Cadets in the platoon were issued 50 demerits and the platoon leader had his rank removed Doesnt matter if it was his first day and I smoked Him ?I will straighten him out.

[@johnvmi27]

I just promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and on my first day I schedule the entire Corps of Cadets for a formal Inspectiom with their Dress Gray Class A uniforms on a Saturday Night doesn't make you popular but it's a Military Academy it's suppose to be strict and intense. PG grad Cadets hate getting their behind busted by a 16 year old.

You forgot to mention that a tie should always be long enough to just touch the top of your belt.
