How it works

How Tie Template works. A hands-on tie-tying guide.

Tie Template is a physical, hands-on guide for learning real necktie knots. Load the tie, follow the route with your own hands, and release the finished knot.

Before you tie

Know the Tie Template.

Face it exactly as pictured. The top clips point up, and left and right match what you see—not the person across from you.

Outer neck loop opening
The long red opening across the top. This is part of the tool—not the loop that goes around your neck.
Inner neck loop opening
The V-shaped opening between the forks. Keep the crossing and knot body centered over it.
Left and right forks
The two center arms. If a step names a fork, move the tie over or under that exact arm.
Top clips
Slide the tie under these first. They keep both ends from moving while you work.
Sliding release bar
Open this only after the final step so the finished knot can lift out cleanly.
