I recently stumbled upon this video and can only recommend it for tall people. I am a bit over 2 meters and this is the only knot which looks good and where the small part of the tie stays long enough to fit into the little holder. Wish I had already found this gem 10 years ago. Big thumbs up!
Ive been wearing ties for 103 years.. ok, more like 35 years.. youstart with the little. Ive always started with the big. And, you are correct in saying the dimple has to be addressed if you want it. And, i do. You just saved me a lot of frustrating AM's.
Thanks, Don. I've tied the Shelby Knot since about 1989. It's the only knot I ever use. But just like we see at the 1:40 mark, on about 80% of my first tries, the little end's length is too long, and requires additional attempts to get both lengths right. Because there is so little tie length being used in the knot itself, I typically have to get the ends nearly aligned. But it's all worth it, because it is a great looking knot, and one that is perfectly symmetrical without being huge.
This is the knot my father taught me growing up. I never knew what it was called until now. Not sure how this showed up in my YT feed, but I'm glad it did!
Thanks! Was using full Windsor because it was symmetrical. But will switch to this one as it is not as big and as you say, "The dimple is automatic". Notice this was made 8 years ago. Hope this post finds you in good health.
I wear a tie almost daily. There are 3 different knots I use. By far, my favorite is the Shelby knot. Perfect knot every time. I've used over 20 years.
forget mr windsor say hello to mr shelby ! its been years since i had to get knotted on a daily basis . my tie knotting skills had long left the memory bank . took awhile to get the 2 lengths aligned . i can now attend my sons wedding in style . thank you Mr Shelby
Great little video from Don Shelby, the man behind the knot, and a terrific record for the archives of cravatology. At least this piece of tie history won't be relegated to theory or legend.
I’ve watched about 9 tie videos this morning and this is the first one I was able to follow along with and land in on the other side with a completed knot Thank you so much for posting this. It will be the only tie video I use from here on
I was wearing full Windsor half Windsors, but since I’ve learned about the Shelby knot, it had become my favorite knot to wear.. thanks for the video and the information.
"Why, thank you my good siŕ. I must say that just by you showing me how to tie this "Shelby knot" via video has left me feeling more "exquisite" and very "prestigious".. just as your knot with the dimple, and each and every one of us man knows the last of "dimples" aah yes .... "Good day" 👍 👌 🤌🤌👋
@@kd9axo This is actually the same knot as Pratt. Pratt has the following steps: Lo-Ci-Lo-Ri-Co-T. And Mr. Don Shelby showed the same steps. He simply said that at first he moves the small end over the large end, but after this movement, he began to move the large end from the Lo step. And he made all the steps of the Pratt knot any way. The only difference is that he turned the narrow end inward when he finished tying the knot. You can do the same with the Pratt knot if you need that detail. But all the basic steps are the same.
Over the years I've seen so many videos and websites about tying a tie. This was so quick and easy and looks way better than any other time I've tied a tie in almost 60 years. THANK YOU
I love this knot. My famous tailor, Herbert Martin, showed it to me in the nineties. When a full windsor is too thick, because of the material of the tie, the shelby is a "must".
Perfect! Needed a knot for a shorter tie (that wouldn't have much of the little side left on the back with a double windsor...) and the dimple is the cherry on top! Classy knot, my gal loved it!
I knew men years ago, that taught me that knot, all WW2 Veterans. They called it the "New York Go To Hell Knot". Still my favorite knot, your way is much, easier.
Wish I knew this when I was in the Marine Corps. We were always required to blouse our ties and it would’ve been nice to have known an easy way to do it. Semper Fi!
This is one of the two knots I only ever use. The second version is even simpler. Start the same, then little over big, big across the front, big up towards the neck and then down through the loop. This simpler version works for chunkier ties.
Well that's a lot of crapola. I've been trying this knot for over 46 years... same knot, seams inward... They named the button down short for me too...I start at the bottom...work my way to the top...Its called the Marshall technique...🤣🤣🤣
Mr. Shelby Sir, it seems the back or "little" is longer than the front. Is this true? I do my Shelby knot higher near the collar button without a dimple personally, but back or "little" is not longer than the front. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.

Im 24 and tied a tie maybe only 3 times before. I got it stunningly perfect on the first try! This method is fantastic! Thank you
The Pratt/Shelby knot and the four in hand are the only two I use (mood dependent)

This was the easiest video I’ve ever seen. Thank you sir!
Now I’m off to bury my father, and I look damn good doing it!
@@ms16648 lol
Of all videos, this is the easiest and best
I LOVE YOU
💀

Was just able to tie a tie by myself for the first time in my life thanks to this video.
ua-cam.com/channels/e8Uc9CofMeVVoLMIkuyD6A.html
Same man this video is to the point not like other ten minute long videos
Simple yet effective, found this video super helpful. This will be my go to knot for now on. Thanx!

I did the same thing and nothing worked until I watched this video, tied it on the first try. This video just made since vs the other ones .
Thank you! As a big dude who likes a symmetrical tie knot this uses so much less length than the half Windsor I often used.
You sir have completely changed my life for the better!
Wow. Is that your real name or u kept because u like Hajime Saito from rurouni kenshin??
@@CRACKBONE7317 wat?
I was wearing full Windsor half Windsors, but since I’ve learned about the Shelby knot, it had become my favorite knot to wear.. thanks for the video and the information.
Been watching videos for hours screwing up every knot I've tried. Do this one, one time and nailed it.
Don Shelby is a legend. This was so easy, got it on my first try after 20 minutes of double windsor videos confusing me. Thank you!
This is the easiest how to video I’ve ever seen. Definitely my new favorite knot. Thank Mr. Shelby!
Yes sir thank you! Simple and yet the best!

I remember Don Shelby on WCCO-TV. I still have the newspaper article describing the Shelby knot.
same with pratt knot....?
@@liewkinhean Watch the video again. The Shelby is slightly different.

My dad was always looking for ways to tie a tie. I think he found this one late in life & never went back. Classy & easy looks great!
Over the years I've seen so many videos and websites about tying a tie. This was so quick and easy and looks way better than any other time I've tied a tie in almost 60 years. THANK YOU
I love this new way to tie my ties , two thumbs up for the Shelby tie ! Thanks for the Shelby video Sir.

Very clear explanation, unlike most knot tying videos which are totally confusing!
Ayo this man has so much swag when does this! The dimple is key!!
This is so underrated it’s not even funny, great video boss we appreciate it!! Subbed
Perfect! Needed a knot for a shorter tie (that wouldn't have much of the little side left on the back with a double windsor...) and the dimple is the cherry on top! Classy knot, my gal loved it!
Holy crap. This is my new favorite method of tie tying. Thank you!!!
So after smoking a joint t and watching 15 videos this is the one that I learned thanks man.
That was not instruction--that was sleight-of-hand.
It was... slight instruction! Because of how surprisingly simple it is.
While the event was disappointing, I still really appreciate the tutorial as it was the first time I ever tied a tie 👍🏼
this is the easiest and best knot. Its the only knot I use. Thanks Mr. Shelby.
Thank you so much Sir, I was trying to make my kids ties for school, it’s the best way I have found 💙 kind regards.
the best video to tie a tie and in general easy method. thanks man!!
I knew men years ago, that taught me that knot, all WW2 Veterans.
They called it the "New York Go To Hell Knot".
Still my favorite knot, your way is much, easier.
This is my favorite and only knot I use. Great video!
Only instructional video that actually helped me lmao I’m 24 and I can finally tie my own tie
Ι tried many knots, I couldn't manage to make a dimple. Now I did it!!!!
Even though it is an old video from 2013 I would like to say Thank You so much for the help / step by step on how to "tie" a tie. 🙂
Thank You! 😊👔
Now I can complete my peaky blinders look.
Thank you, Mr Shelby.
Thank you so much I had 5 min to tie my tie. Your video came in clutch big time thanks 🙏
A friend of mine from Detroit taught me to tie this knot, but he called it a “pimp knot.” It’s nice to have a different name for it.
Sorry but that name is too good 👍🏽
@@anthonysinclair4114 true, true
He would be from Detroit. 😂
....not a good not knot to call out in front of your soon to be father-in-law- on your wedding day-
Your awesome, got it my first try with the help of your video!
Thank you SHELBY!!! YOUR THE MAN
Who taught you the shelby not?
-I learned it from the Don
Thanks so much, that was a lot easier than other videos
wow, best tie tutorial I've ever seen! Thank you, sir
Best instructions i ever seen on this
.thank you sir.
Thx! I've been building my tie collection via a tie subscription service called the Spiffster Tie Club so learning these awesome knots is great!
Protect this Man.
The only knot I ever use anymore. Not only does it look better, but it's the easiest way to do it too.
When I learned this in the mid 70's it was called a square knot.
after hours of failed attempts this is the video that helps
Most helpful tie video on UA-cam
Wish I knew this when I was in the Marine Corps. We were always required to blouse our ties and it would’ve been nice to have known an easy way to do it. Semper Fi!
best tie video hands down
Thanks Don. I wish you hadn't disappeared from. YT.
Sir you are a gentleman and a scholar.
Thank u very much sir. I learned it with this easy method thax
I miss the twin cities desparately. That friendly professionalism seems exclusive to those gentle people. Maybe someday I'll get back.
This is one of the two knots I only ever use. The second version is even simpler. Start the same, then little over big, big across the front, big up towards the neck and then down through the loop. This simpler version works for chunkier ties.
Wow!! Thankyou!! That was freaking fast and easy screw all the other kinds of knots
Thank you Shelby 🎉
The best tutorial on the UA-cam.
Thank you very much sir.
This video was such a good help
This was the best video and so easy to do!! Thank you so much!!!
Excellent video and very easy to do!!! Thank you sir.
I have been tying that knot since 1976.
Perfectly! You just saved the day
You saved the day. Thanks!
My first knot! Thanks for the video!
First try! Perfect, thank you
Thank you soo much, this was really helpful
How cool is that? Thank you, Mr Shelby!
This was great and easy to follow thank you
Shalom howdy how and a splendid day Mr. Shelby. I did it despite it is backwards. But I may sport a new style just to enjoy it while it is on.
Father taught me this at a young age
Oh wow must be nice to have a father
@@IEatApeShit 🥺
The guy’s voice is equally impressive
The easiest way to tie thank you sir
Is the best!! please come back
Well that's a lot of crapola.
I've been trying this knot for over 46 years... same knot, seams inward...
They named the button down short for me too...I start at the bottom...work my way to the top...Its called the Marshall technique...🤣🤣🤣
The best knot, in my IMHO. Used this with my Air Force uniform , people would ask me how I got a Windsor knot so small….
Mr. Shelby Sir, it seems the back or "little" is longer than the front. Is this true? I do my Shelby knot higher near the collar button without a dimple personally, but back or "little" is not longer than the front. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.
Honestly felt like this was the only way to tie a tie got it on the 2nd try and looks clean
That dimple appeared like magic
This was so helpful thanks!
Ooh thanks so much. This is the easiest way
Thank you for showing me how to do that to tie up
When you realize you’ve been tying a Shelby knot for years
I worked this out some time in Fall of 1983. The dimple is not automatic, in fact I always smooth it out if it occurs.
you should try experiment with keeping the dimple. It adds another dimension to a suit
Amazing , I’m so trying this , thank you sir
Thanks boss man ☺️
bro this is the easiest one yet omg
Holy sh.... this is now my new standard. Fuck the Single Windsor. I did it like 3x and it's pretty easy and very clean looking!
Thanks it helped alot
Shelby Gang 🔥
It seems like a half-Windsor knot but inside out and backwards, I wonder whether it would work with a double Windsor?
