Today, you will learn to tie the Pratt knot AKA the Shelby knot.
HISTORY:
- The knot was first worn in the US during World War II
- an American named Jerry Pratt started wearing it exclusively in the late 50s.
- never really became popular until a man showed the knot in 1986 to the local news anchor Don Shelby.
- Three years afterwards, in 1989, Europe times picked up on it and the daily telegraph in England renamed it the Shelby knot.
HOW TO TIE THE PRATT KNOT:
1. Start out with the tie seam side up and the slimmer end on your right and the wider end on your left. The length of the slimmer end is about one and a half hand width above your waistband. Slim end goes over the wide end.
2. Take the bottom part, the wide end goes up, you always stay on the right and through a hole pulling it down.
3. Now you have this little knot and you want it to be tight. Take the wide end, bring it to your left, tighten it up a little bit and now from the back, you bring the wide end up, pull it up. Now the wide end goes through the knot and now you just pull it through, adjust it and pull it up.
4. You can see it forms a dimple automatically because you have that knot just on one side. Pull at the slim end, bring it up and adjust your knot. Voila! The Pratt AKA Shelby knot.
- This kind of a big knot only works with cutaway collars or really wide spread collars.
- Avoid wearing this with a classic collar because the collar ends will overlap with your knot which does not look very good.
- You definitely do not want to wear this kind of tie with a collar pin or collar bar, much rather go for an oriental or four in hand knot because this is simply too big.
