Sartorial Tips #1: How to Tie a Trench Coat Belt in the Back Two Ways

I wanted to show two ways you can tie the trench coat belt in the back - for when you are not using the belt to close your coat and/or as a decorative element.
The trench coat shown is a Burberry London trench coat in navy that I purchased from the flagship Burberry store on Newbury Street in Boston in the Spring of 2011.
Thank you for watching!

I have been trying to find a video to show me how to tie the back of my new trench coat since I had to wash it and pulled the belt out and HATED it loose! Your video was the easiest and clearest to follow, and I'm very grateful!

Nice video. Just a comment for men. While the half Windsor is probably the more masculine looking of the two, note that, like a half Windsor tie knot, it's a slip knot, so if you're not careful the non-buckle side can slide up and release the knot. While the second version is a slip knot as well, it's the buckle side that's sliding so it's more difficult for the entire thing to come loose.

Great video. Easy to follow along. It is nice to hear the instructions instead of music.

Thank you so much for your tutorial video. I've just purchased a trench coat by Burberry for my graduation gift and I was kinda worried because I couldn't tie the belt as what the shop retailers did on the day. Now I am relieved! :)

Thank you so much Phil. I'm short too and this will be perfect for my Burberry trench. Keep the excellent videos and information coming!

Thank you so much for this video! Never thought I would some day be looking for this type of video, but the belt on my new coat just wasn't working with me at all because of the thicker material it's made of. You saved me!

My London Fog trench has a small length of strap on the back of the belt that has two buttons attached. Any idea what that is for and what to do with it?
