Do you know how to tie a necktie or bow tie?

Yes, I know how to tie a necktie. I'd really struggle at school if I didn't.
Never worn a bow tie.

Neckties? Yes. I've been able to do that since I was a child.
Bow tie? I'm not sure that I've ever attempted that. I wore one with a tuxedo when I was an usher at my brother's wedding. That was over twenty years ago. Understandably, the bow tie wasn't one of the more memorable events that day and has since faded into obscurity.

Necktie, yes. Bowtie, no.

Yes, I know how to tie a bow tie.

Yes, I can and tie a necktie and I can do it in four ways:
1. Four-in-hand (most poplar with folks to tie but the least formal method), gives you that loosely tied, ill-formed look most popular these days.
2. 1/2 Windsor, is my most commonly used method and a little more formal. It gives you a well formed knot that isn't too fat and doesn't leave the thin end backwards. The drawback with it is that it does not like to keep a dimple.
3. Full Windsor knot, is the most formal method. This is the method I was raised with because, as a child, I could wear my father's ties. This method can give you a great dimple but also gives you the fattest knot. Use this method if you need to take up slack and can't tuck the slack into the shirt somewhere.
4. The Pratt/Shelby knot. It is the most unorthodox method, you start out most differently and end with the inside of the thin end facing forwards. Because of the orientation, it is an informal knot. One uniform I wear nearly requires it (It works well to make the dimple at the top center of the front of the tie, just under the knot). I almost never use this method, but I do know how to do it this way.

The type, shape and thickness of the tie, the shirt parameters, the overall desired end-look and my mood go into the decision of which knot to use to tie any given tie.

Do to safety requirements I also wear clip-on neckties on occasion at work.

I also know how to tie a Navy neckerchief.

I know how to tie a necktie, but not a bow tie. I wear a necktie for school. Black and white striped

No, No, I never wear ties.

No, I don't know to tie either. When Caleb has to wear a tie, I take him by my dad's and get him to tie it.

No to both. A couple of times when I was pressured to wear a regular tie, I got a clip-on. I never wear ties. Fortunately in the low-level clerical jobs I've held all my life I was never forced to wear one. A good thing because I cannot STAND them. I think they're even sillier looking than those baggy fall-off pants young kids insist on wearing now. (Well, maybe not...) But think of it, a piece of material wrapped around one's neck and hanging down. The only thing I want hanging down from my neck is my iPod's lanyard. I have never worn a bow-tie. I even tend to avoid people who are all "dressed up" in suits (another ugly kind of clothing -- don't get me started on THAT) as opposed to people who are dressed like real humans, in jeans and T- or sweatshirts as the latter look more approachable and less like someone in authority. Anyway, DOWN with ties.

I know how to tie a necktie. I've never tried to tie a bow tie, but I'm fairly certain I could figure it out in a pinch.

I did know at one time how to tie a necktie but I've forgot now.

I can tie necktie, Windsor knot and half Windsor knot.

Yes to the necktie and no to the bowtie............. people still "tie" bow ties?

Wow............ I have my own way of Tying a tie, semi-windsor I guess, but I like a uniform tie, it has to be symetrical... I hate "casually" tied ties and big knots.............. at high school I used to tie my ties from the "thin" end as a fashion statement and tuck the big leftover part inside my shirt............*sigh* I was way too cool at school

I don't wear ties. Thats kinda why I chose computer science as a major, its the only one where I can make a lot of money with without having to wear too many ties. I'll just get a clip on some time in the future.

Its also the main reason why I never quite got around to converting to the Nation of Islam. I always wanted to, except for that whole bow tie thingy. Too much work.

I never wear ties..But I did try the other day..sort of...with one of my dad's ties...
Never trust a man who wears a bow tie...unless he's a clown...Then you really don't want to trust him.

yees?

Yees?

you commented?

No, at least I don't think I did. Let me check.

I don't wear ties... and I don't know how to tie either one.

I never wear ties!
I had to a few times in the military depending on the uniform I had to wear, but that was years ago. I could probably figure out both if I had to. I would NEVER wear a bow tie! To goofy looking.

I had to spend 7 years of my life wearing a tie

ok

I don't see a reply. Maybe I'm getting early senility.

I think you just clicked reply..or..something..because all it is is blank..Unless..I'm crazy too..and that is completly possible

I don't think you're crazy. More likely, I accidently clicked on reply.

necktie yes.
bowtie - no

Yes, I know how several ways to tie a necktie, though I hate to wear them. I'm not enough of a geek to wear a bowtie with conviction, so if I have to wear one of those, I don the clip-on type.

Oh..ok..Just looking for an excuse to be crazy..haha

You're a teenager, correct? What other excuse do you need?

Bah, that one's expected

It sounds like you have been doing a 1/2 Windsor a along. For a while they used to sell really thin ties. It kept you from having to tie and wear it backwards.

The solution is to exceed those expectations.

Yes, I know how to tie a necktie

true..

necktie only

Thank god I am a woman!

Women tie neckties too. My mom ties my dad's necktie everytime they dress up and go out. If she leaves it to him, it's all uneven and looks awful.

A tie, but not a bowtie.

That is so sweet of her. I have seen my mother in law help her husband tie his before. This is one talent that eludes me, my husband is on his own.

I don't know if it's so much being sweet on her part, but more that she wants my dad to look nice.

It's still nice of her to help.

I agree. If you had the opportunity to meet them, you'd see that they both have a deep and abiding love for each other.

I learned how to tie a necktie from instructions online. I've only tied a necktie once, for my husband, and I already forgot how. I could get the instructions and do it again if I had to.

How long have they been married?

Nope, neither.

They just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary last April 1.

Yes, I know how to tie both a necktie and a bow tie. I rarely wear either mind, although recently I considered wearing a bow tie to an audition, ultimately opting for a necktie. I own dozens of fancy neckties after a fellow occupying the flat above me left them behind before leaving the country.

i can do a necktie

Other. I used to know how to tie a neck tie. My father very patiently allowed me to do his. Than he would fix it when he left. I don't remember anymore.

Have never seen a bow tie that needed to be tied.

Tying a bowtie is easy. I know how to tie an obi!
