Men's English Bow Ties

Start with the bow tie around your neck, with one end longer than the other. Cross the longer end over the shorter end, then bring it under and through the loop created near your neck. Fold the shorter end in half to create the front loop of the bow shape. Hold this loop with one hand while you shape the bow with the longer end. Bring the longer end over the centre of the bow and then fold it back behind the loop you've been holding. Push this folded end through the loop behind the bow and tighten to form the knot. Adjust the size and shape of the bow by pulling on the folded ends, and arrange the fabric neatly.
