This is how you tie a bowtie. The trick is to twist and tweak until finished. Bow ties look best when slightly imperfect. Too much symmetry is unnatural. You want people to see that its not pre-tied.

The video is to be viewed as if you were looking in a mirror.

  • This is still looking at someone else tying a bow tie. How come nobody ever teach tying the bow tie in the tier's view—my view when I am looking at the mirror? My father taught me by standing behind me, in front of a mirror and did it so I can see how it's done in the "user's view". Please do it again.

  • Read the info text. This IS a mirror view. I mirrored the video before I uploaded it. No need for me to do it again. ALL my videos are mirrored.

  • That's a sick tie, anyone know what make it is?

  • It's my grandfathers bow tie from the late 40's. It's made of Egyptian cotton, and I have to spray starch on it everytime I use it to stiffen it up. Really cool tie but almost impossible to find. An antique shop maybe? Or tailor made.

  • Bowties are cool.

  • It's a good video. If it doesn't work for you, here's how I learned to do it:

    Someone said to me: step away from the mirror and pretend you're tying your shoe lace. It works!

  • This is the best video, slower is better to beginners btw.
