| How To Tie A Bow Tie |

| With your collar up, place the tie around your neck so that the ends hang down in front. Adjust one end to be about 1-½" longer than the other. |
Cross the longer end over the shorter end and tie a single knot as you would when beginning to tie your shoe. |
Pull to snug the tie against your neck. Position the knot at the narrow area of the tie. |
Fold the shorter end in half at the widest part of the oval. This forms the first half of the bow. Make sure that the bow shape is facing out. |

| Bring the long piece to the front over the bow you have just made. |
While holding the bow in place, fold the remaining end in half at the widest part of the oval as you did with the first half of the bow. |
Push the second half of the bow through the loop behind the first bow. Your bow should now be formed. |
Carefully pull the folded ends of the bow to tighten the knot. Fix your collar, and you are ready for a night on the town! |
