Shelby Tie Knot （Pratt knot）

The Shelby knot, also known as the Pratt knot, is a simple and classic necktie knot invented in the 1980s by American businessman Jerry Pratt. It’s a variation of the four-in-hand knot, but it’s even simpler and easier to tie.

The Shelby knot is characterized by its symmetrical triangular shape and works well with most collar styles. It’s a great choice for both formal and informal occasions.

Here’s how to tie the Shelby knot:

0. Start with the wide end of the tie in your right hand and the narrow end in your left. Make sure the wide end is about twice the length of the narrow end.

1. Cross the wide end over the narrow end, making an “X” with the ties.

2. Bring the wide end under the narrow end, from right to left.

3. Pull the wide end up through the loop you just created.

4. Tuck the wide end down behind the front of the tie, making sure it goes through the loop around your neck.

5. Gently pull the narrow end of the tie to tighten the knot. Adjust the knot so it sits evenly against your collar.
