How to Tie a Tie: Pratt Knot

[@Scarletbull]

This is my fave tie knot. Dude! You tied it EXACTLY how I prefer it. Some people's instructions finish it with the bottom knot wide. You emphasize the "stretching" the top neck loop right before you complete the knot. That's VERY important step to get the triangular shape. Great vid!

[@Koinohnia]

I just... I can't believe this, I just tied my first tie. This is
HISTORICAL!
REVOLUTIONARY!
A memory... to remember...
A thought... unforgotten...
A finger... caught in a loop...

[@itsmaica]

Out of all the so called help videos on here, you're the only one who actually taught me how to do it. Thank you!

[@themangix357]

Sir thank you very much for teaching me how to tie a knot, I really needed it for my thesis and huuuuweeee, I do not know how to tie a knot, until a watched this vid.
Thanks, you're a life saver.

[@Rascaduanok]

Thank you very much. Clearly explained, though the actual face-to-face explanation felt easier to follow than the diagrammatic one, and a marvellous knot. I much prefer this to the Windsor Knot. Many thanks once again!

[@MrPrometheus9]

Never thought id be able to do this alone, but it worked perfectly, thank you very much sir !

[@darkbeing543]

Thanks for the videos! They really saved me today, for the longest time I couldn't tie a tie to save my life.

[@thomas500]

I was lerned the tie a tie when I was a kid. Today I learned that I have been doing the "Pratt knot" all theese years. Been using tie at work the last 21 years never knowing what the knot was called. Thank you!

[@HEIGHTSIXFIVE]

I think I like this knot over the windsor. It just seems easier. Thanks, dude. You da man.

[@wreagfe]

I actually got it in one time in realtime with the picture example, many thanks!

[@0oAfshanao0]

Omg, it worked! It didn't look bumpy or too scrunched up! It's perfect! Thank you thank you thank.

[@adam1984k]

2 girls one cup soundtrack... LOL!!! I love it! Oh, thanks for the instructions, helped alot!

[@king0trance]

Awesome. I have an interview tomorrow so this really helped out a lot. Keep up the good work!

[@ArmanAbedi]

Thank you very much. I wouldn't know what to do if your videos didn't exist.

you man are a life-saviour!
i like this knot the most

[@conwaytwitty33]

This guy is brilliant! Took time to get it spot on but once I did I was so happy! Nice to have a proper knot rather than the standard old school-boy one!

[@AshaiTides]

I've watched this video like 30 times now. Kudos!

[@Keeping-It-Real-55]

I tried the full windsor knot style for about 30 minutes and kept coming up with a short tie. I moved to the pratt knot and my tie was perfect plus the knot was much easier than the full windsor. I really like the pratt knot the best out of all the knots. This is from a person that wears a tie 2-3x a year max. :)

[@BenzGarner]

This man is amazing in sharing his knowlege to all of us, obviously most people who post a comment here are ignorant and cannot appreciate the work he does. Well I say thank you sir and continue to be awesome.

[@mikegnome]

For some reason the tranquil background music and calm voice really make it much easier to accomplish.

[@Dukeboy187]

Awesome! You freed me from my windsor knot life!

[@xBBxnoneforgotten]

hey man, thanks for the vid, im 14 and just learned so easy from this, thanks a lot :D

[@brandonmbrown1]

Great video series! really cool of this guy to share knowledge for young professionals. The 2 girls one cup music may be the wrong choice in music, but its a valiant attempt to put together a useable and memorable video. Well done sir!

[@654ha123]

i owe my life to this~!!! thanks for all the tips!

[@looni3]

Job interview today, this knot worked a treat.

[@JebroniKiller]

Thanks so much man, you totally saved my senior picture :D

[@SamHaugen]

Thank you! No more of the Four-in-hand knot!

[@whateverdot]

Oh man i needed this couldn't tieatie to save my life thanks a lot!

[@TrueCloud]

This is an excellent video to use in order to tie a tie, very helpful.

[@bharath210]

Thanks dude! It was so easy once I saw the video.

[@S7StudioElfPaladin]

took me over ten times, but i finally did it! thanks!

[@kidd2k1]

Wow, this is a weird knot but when it works it looks great.
It's confusing because when you put the tie through at the end it seems like it didn't work correctly, but you just need to expand it to a triangle, incredible.

[@captainawesome2121]

Saved my life!

[@BREAKocean]

This is such good Pratt Knot tying music.

[@LoveKeepsGoing11]

I actually screamed after I got it right! xD thank you!

[@TubeScrewed]

I think this is the best knot. You get the dimple, it's symmetrical, and uses less material so it's not too big.

[@5chmts]

Thanks a million! Finally learned to tie a tie! :)

[@speedlites]

Thanks for the video. I now prefer a Pratt knot to a Windsor knot.

[@anthonymccarthy4164]

I went to your site and found out about tie straps, I hate pins and clips so it's just what I need. Thank you for some very good videos, too, though I'm sticking with this one.

[@KingOfHeartsgg]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH i never understood how to adjust it unti i saw your video XD

[@cleverusername6]

Getting ready for my first homecoming dance! :D

[@anthonymccarthy4164]

OK, this is the only time I've ever managed to get the tie right. Thanks.

[@grimshake]

you are a life saver...extremely helpful

[@triameleon]

good knot, doesn't come out crooked like some of the others, thanks.

[@mattmobile]

This video has saved me twice now XD

[@yellowcardblows]

Thank you sir! Your video was extremely helpful.

[@Rudehero]

PERFECT!! THanks i needed to tie the tie for my cosplay !

[@Edved95]

Thank you so much! I got it after the third try! :D

[@kede1234567899874563]

Simple and easy, thank you!

[@Jellyfruits]

The mirror imaging does make it much simpler. Thanx!

[@Jellyfruits]

The mirror imaging makes it much simpler. Thanx!

[@willieblair7321]

Thanks so much, my grand daughter does cratering and I'll try to have her look at your video.

[@thegr8pulido]

Thanks a ton I needed to know how to tie a tie so bad so I didn't look like the only douchebag without one at school you're a bloody lifesaver!

[@jamundi308]

One problem that people have at first is not tieing the knots strong enough...after I did this it came out nicely.

[@ScrappyCocoxD]

Thank you for this video! Really helped me a lot.

[@Luckliffe]

You just saved my life.

[@mazokuchan]

thank you so much! it's super well done and easy! I faved pretty much all of them ^^

[@feamatar]

thank you so much!!! I really needed this video

[@KaiserFrazer67]

This knot is GREAT for fat, wider ties where the Full Windsor would produce a big, bulky knot. It also makes a much more symmetrical knot than the Half-Windsor. The only downside is that it seems to be a somewhat looser knot than either the Half- or Full Windsor, and may be more prone to slipping loose, depending on what material your tie is made of, especially if you're in a more active setting such as a high-school dance or wedding reception.

[@heatherscott3936]

Thanks for a great demo.

[@Akram180]

yo this guy is the MAN!

[@GodWeenSatan]

[@clintock85]

[@bluedolphin131]

[@nomnoid]

Thank you sir, you really saved my day! :D

[@spidie12345]

I love the way he says "A little bridge"

[@dogbreath9782]

you are the man!!!!!!!!!! thank you !!!!!

[@eldoradowalters4710]

I like these instructions

[@mad21lx]

it literally made me grin so hard haha!

[@BenchedMagic]

I agree, some knots might not suit a person because of their physical stature.
Also, certain tie knots will look better, in my opinion, with certain shirt collars.
For example, a full windsor with a spread collar would be my choice, but with a narrow collar I would want a more narrow tie knot, which is why I am actually taking a look at this video. Lol.

[@iqbaldisouza1]

the background music is the same in chinese restaurants or softcore movies....love the video btw

[@SOGMAONE]

@bonzitulga its the very first step that messed it up. start out with the big part much longer then the short. thats what i learned. good luck

[@Zacht246]

Thanks alot! this helped me so much!!

[@SaladHate]

Looks the same as half-windsor knot except that you start with back side up. Good channel anyways, helps alot.

[@JFCotman]

[@Tonystark114]

great vid! Thanks

[@demoras]

Ooh! I like this knot :)

[@emskadem]

i like your accent :D and your pratt knot.

[@conwaytwitty33]

Surely that depends on the size of your tie and the size of your frame. I for one would look ridiculous with a full Windsor on anything but a very slim tie as I'm not that big, therefore I tend to go with the Pratt as it suits my frame better.

[@left0vers]

finally, thanks!

[@drCasey555]

thx mate u helped me :) cheers

[@elgatobajolalluvia]
