Just a thing I'd like to point out is that the Shelby knot is actually called the Pratt knot as it was invented by Jerry Pratt, who worked for the Chamber of Commerce. Don Shelby just made it popular. Personally, I always use the full Windsor because it looks so nice.

I was a little confused by the comment by Edgar "Now that no one wears a vest". I wear a 3 piece suit to my office almost everyday. Did i miss a fashion meeting? I still tie my tie the correct length even when wearing a vest. Great Videos! I was a little confused by the comment by Edgar “Now that no one wears a vest”.

I find it at least as easy to tie and probably easier to learn.

I agree with the other poster who suggested that you add bow tie instructions - it's great when you go to a wedding or formal and you're the only man there with a proper bow tie, the others having settled for clip ons... Great article!

I've been meaning to practice these knots to show one of my cousins. I do have one anecdote to share: Many moons ago when it was time for my high school senior prom, there were quite a few young men that were in the marching band with me that had no idea <a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2009/06/05/how-to-tie-a-tie/">how to tie a tie</a> and niether did thier fathers. Undauted, instead of going and buying a clip-on they asked the gentlemen who taught basic drum skills (an ex-marine I might add) <a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2009/06/05/how-to-tie-a-tie/">how to tie a tie</a>. I believe I still have pictures from when they held a "Everyday Marine Manliness" band session: for everyone that showed up welearned <a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2009/06/05/how-to-tie-a-tie/">how to tie a tie</a>, shine our shoes, proper posture and as a suprise he also taught us the basic waltz.

I tend to avoid situations where ties are called for, but when I have to, I do the Shelby. It is just plain quick and certainly easier to do and undo than any other. I also find it's not as tight on the neck as other knots. If done properly you can even get away with leaving the top button undone (top button chokes me to death.)

Anderson Cooper’s knot *looks* like a full Windsor on a silk tie, but with no dimple. If tying the Windsor isn’t big enough, you can always do an extra wrap. It could be different though.
