Tie the 'Pratt' (aka 'Shelby') knot

Video Title :	Tie the 'Pratt' (aka 'Shelby') knot
Description :	The "Pratt" is related to the "Nicky" and provides an excellent compact, medium sized symmetric knot. The "Pratt" is a very practical knot which can be used with most any tie. As you can see, the tie is inverted (the seam shows) as you start. This saves us one loop. The video is to be viewed as if you were looking in a mirror. -

thanks, I know how to tie one now! I'm playing the role of an Anonymous Townsfolk Husband/dad in the play, but I'm a girl, so this really helped me. XD

um am i stupid or does all these different types of knots look they same?

i thought that too, but apparently the windsors are more symmetrical, the four-in-hand is asymmetrical, and this doesn't seem like it looks so clean haha

this video really helped me out...God bless whoever made this 1!!!!!!!!!!!

You can get rid of the dimple under the knot with proper "fiddling" which creates a really sweet looking tie. This is By far my favorite knot and I think the four in hand has got to go.

This is my favorite knot. I'm 6'5 and I love the Windsor and half Windsor but they use so much tie for the knot, this gives you symmetry, a very nice dimple, excellent shape and size, and uses less tie for taller guys like me.

Isn't this basically the half-windsor inverted though?

Amen fellow giant!

Awi66, Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to make this and many other tie knot videos. I am very impressed. The style is unique and allows for a clean presentation of the subject matter. I have two problems - 1) I have great difficulty seeing the tyng and 2) the image presented is clean but hard to translate into muscle movements on my end. Please keep making the videos. You might just amp the lights up substantially and that would be positive for all viewers.

i looked up mi name 'shelby' and THIS popped up!! R U kidding me!? well, i learned how to tie a tie! i can wear one to skool now! and yes yes! i AM a girl!
