1. Start with the wide end of the tie on your right, extending a foot below the narrow end. 2. Cross the wide end over in front of the narrow, and bring it up through the loop around your neck. 3. Bring the wide end down and around behind the narrow, and then up on the right-hand side. 4. Pull the wide end through the loop around your neck, and then around and across the front of the narrow end, forming the knot. 5. Pull the wide end up through the loop around your neck. Pull it down through the knot, so it hangs down the front as it should. 6. Grip the narrow end of the tie and work the knot upwards. Slide it up until it rests snugly against your collar.
