Instructions:

  1. Lay the tie around your neck. As with all tie knots leave the wide end hanging lower. For the Shelby knot the wide end of the tie is turned over so that the inner stitching is visible.
  2. Just like you do for the half Windsor, loop the wide end of the tie around the part that goes around your neck.
  3. Pull the wide end down so that it creates a tight wrap.
  4. Now take the wide end and pull it over the knot. The front of the wide end should be facing out. Do not pull tight but create a loop.
  5. Now bring the wide end through the opposite side on the collar and pull through the loop you created in step 4.
  6. Pull the knot tight and if preferred pinch the wide end of the tie to create a dimple
