Nothing pre-tied belongs under your chin so avoid the
manufactured clip-ons. They may look like a perfectly tied bow, but the
polished man has developed the skill to tie his own. It’s no worse than
learning to tie a shoe or ride a bike and once you learn you never forget. All
you need is a little practice. 1). Begin with one end in left hand, extending 1.5 inch below other end in right hand.
2). Cross longer end over shorter and pass up through loop.
3-5). Make front loop of bow by doubling up shorter, hanging end and placing across collar points.
6). Hold the front loop between the thumb and index finger of left hand. Drop long end down over front.
7). Place right index finger pointing up on bottom half of hanging part. Pass up behind front loop. Nudge resulting loop through knot behind front loop.
8). Hold the bow at both folded ends and pull carefully to tighten the knot.
