I received my first instructions on tying a bow tie from Lands End back in '86. Worked well for me.

They also show the Windsor, Half-Windsor, and Four-in-hand for those that need them.

Cheers,
Tom

That wasn't all you, My Friend. That tie had lost its structure. It was a floppy mess. [huh]
No one could have tied that tie properly and you did as best as anyone.

Is a narrower bowtie easier to tie? My white piquet tie is almost cartoon-ishly wide, and it was a nightmare to tie, and it only looked barely passable the two times I wore it in public.

The white ties I see in the 1930s movies seem narrower than mine as well.
