03:37 Oriental Tie Knot
First, the slimmer end has to be on your right side, the wide end has to on your left side. Position the right end so it's much longer than the short end. Typically, for me, the short end ends about a hand width above my pant's waistband. Now, cross the slim end over the wide end with the seam facing up. Pinch the intersection of the two sides with your left index finger and thumb. Fold the wider end over the intersection and your pinched fingers. Wrap it around and pull it snug. Now, take the wide end and insert it between the gap between your collar and the tie. Pull it through and then insert the tip of the wide end into the top layer of the knot. Hold the knot while you pull it all the way through gently. Before finally tightening the knot, make sure there's a little pinch of fabric on top of the long part of the tie so you get a dimple. Now, it's time to pull up the knot. Just pull on the shorter end with your right hand while holding the tie knot with your left hand.

05:31 Four in Hand Knot
First, drape the tie around your neck with the wide end on the left side and the thin end on your right side. Again, you want to adjust the length so the slim end is shorter. Typically. It ends about a hand width above my pant's waistband. Now, cross the wide end over the slim end with the seam facing towards your chest. Now, pinch the intersection, wrap the wider end once around, 360 degrees. This will form an opening over your left index finger. Now, you can pull the wide end from behind, pull all the way through and then put it through that hole you just created. Now, with your right index finger and thumb, hold the knot and with your left hand, pull the wide end through that little knot. Before finally tightening the knot, pinch the top part so you get that desired dimple then pull the knot tight and ultimately, hold it with your left hand and with your right hand pulling the slimmer end, wiggle it up so it fits neatly in the desired collar space. You don't want it to be more on one side or the other, you want it right in the middle so it's not overlapped and it looks neat.

07:43 Kelvin Knot
Drape the tie around your neck with the wider end on your left, the shorter end on your right. Again, adjust the length so the slimmer end is about a hand width above your pant's waistband. Of course, the slim end over the wide end and pinch it with your index finger. Fold the wider end over the intersection of your pinched fingers and go once around and pull it really tight. Now, once again, pinch that part with your thumb and index finger of your left hand. Now, wrap the wide end around once more, come through the back and pull it up gently. Now, you take the wider end and you stuff it through the hole you just created, pull it down. You do that while you have your left hand holding the knot and with your right hand, you pull on the wider end and pull it through. It's important that you pull that wide end through, just that one loop, not a double loop, otherwise, your knot might look odd because there will be two layers that can be seen. Now it's the same thing as before, make sure there's a little crease in the end so you get that desired dimple and then once the knot is tight, pull it up. Once the tie is fully tied, you ideally want the wide end and the slim end to be exactly the same length ending at about the middle of your belt buckle.

10:23 Outfit Rundown

I was in highschool and my step father got his dress shirts shipped to the house from custom shirt shop. 1983 circa.

In the box was a pamfelt on how to tie a tie. I used that guide & taught myself to tie a tie.

1992 cicra I was working as a Regional Manager for a Men's Suit & sport's wear store. And during Corp visit if the tie was not perfect, we would get trashed. So I learned the importance of a good knot. After the crash of many retailers in late 1990's, I found a new career & a suit was my uniform for many years. I have always taken pride in my tie & ties.

Enjoy your videos.

Wow, first time ever learning how to tie a tie knot. I couldn't believe how easy it was. Whenever it came time to wear a suit I always dreaded the tie part because I never knew how to do it. I just never took the time to actually learn. Just tried the Oriental knot and I had it done in seconds. I'm so proud of myself, lol. Thanks, Sven for making more of a man out of me, lol. The fear of tying ties is now finally gone thanks to you.

I agree strongly Raphael, the dimple is an excellent touch of nonchalant elegance. In my opinion, there is nothing more stylish than a quality tie, tied tightly with a dimple. There is nothing more boring than a cheap tie, tied loosely with no dimple, creating that goofy box-like shape.

Thank you so very much. This has helped me greatly

[popelgruner]

Danke, diese Krawattenknoten kommen jetzt sehr gelegen.

[queenstfan]

Excuse me Mr Schneider I was wondering about how much are those beautiful suits you guys always wear because I am loving the trend of you guys bringing suits and dapper stuff back in fashion.

[marksterling]

Wonderful video, helped my son who I have been trying to advise about ties.

I am quite stuck in my ways. With almost exclusively a full Windsor knot with a full spread collar. It helped me explain that something narrower would be more suitable for his build and face shape.

Thank you and stay safe.

I have a feeling this will be one of your most viewed videos of all time! I am pretty good with ties and even I found this to be helpful!

[JoJo-xpwr]

I was just listening to "fly me to the moon" and here you are, showing us spring on the gentleman's gazette!
Also, more live streams, please!
I just love these!

Just one question, my white shirt is a bit white stripped, can I wear it with a business suit?

[lucafwn]

I'm not very fond of asymmetrical tie knots (I usually go for a half-Windsor), but indeed the Oriental knot is ideal for thick ties. It is also useful when you have a short tie - it lets you spare some centimeters/inches.

[timsanders]

This video reinforces the unfortunate fact that most of my ties are too short. As a tall man, I need longer tires but most of the ones I see in the department stores are just one size. Time to get some new ties!

Oriental Knot @ 3:53 - Four-In-Hand Knot @ 5:33 - Kelvin Knot @ 7:43 for those who don't like searching or waiting lol

I thought we Marines (ret) we the most detailed tying ties. The give classes both at boot camp and OCS re tie tying. It was a inspection check during uniform inspections. To this day, and I’ve been retired since 1996, improperly tied ties is a pet peeve.

[BruceCarbonLakeriver]

Doubled Windsor for standard appearances (which in my case means everytime I leave my house) and for special occations I'm using the merowingian knot. Which is the most complex knot I've ever learned (even harder than the asymmetrical Ypsilon) but it looks awesome fits on ever collumn you just need a pretty long medium or thin tie. At job interviews or meetings with high grade b2b costumers it was always worth a positive comment - I love it <3

Hello guys,

Love the channel !
I still can’t believe you haven’t covered lapel width and styles !

[luisparra]

The Four in hand knot is for me. With JºS. A Bank's 2 for 1 tie sale, and my penchant to splurge on a nice outfit for my daughters symphonic concert this weekend, this video was very timely. Thank you so much.

[vieuxacadian]

I have not seen a tie with the ( Pine cone ) knot in a long time . Beautifully unique if done correctly .

[cambria]

There's so much I've watched other videos and just could not get it and then for some reason I washed yours and I mastered all three styles first time trying and thank you so much you just for some reason made me learn a lot easier than any of the other videos thank you very much I really appreciate it I feel every adult should know how to tie a necktie

[CulturedPotato]

I usually wear the four-in-hand or the half windsor. I also make sure to include a dimple

[roccogiurato]

Thanks for this video. I am looking forward to wearing a tie again 😊
