Learn2 Tie
a Bowtie (Continued)
Adjust the length
Some bowties have adjustable lengths.
Does one end have a loop? Some ties will have neck
sizes marked on the loop. If so, place the hook one
number up from the number corresponding to your
neck-size. This will give you a little larger loop,
but will simplify the beginners efforts at tying
the darn thing.
Other adjustable bowties: you pull the
loop through a little buckle until you have enough
tie hanging down on either side of your collar to
do it up. Bowties are generally narrow in the
middle and widen out to an hourglass shape on both
ends. The narrow curves are where the knot will be
tied. The wider places form the loops and ends of
the bow.
