It was Oscar Wilde who said, "A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life". For most young men learning how to tie a tie was a rushed process in which a frustrated father tried to teach his son moments before a formal event, as mother stood by the door cajoling "come on honey we re going to be late".
The How to Tie a Tie Video is a pleasant departure from this common early experience. The teacher in this case is a series of easy to follow DVD chapters that the aspiring student can watch on his or her own time. The lessons are clear, simple and straight to the point. The four major knots, the Windsor Knot, Half Windsor, Four-in-Hand Knot and the great but largely unknown Pratt Knot are included as is the Bow Tie.
