Aug 7 2008Sure, Why Not?: The How To Tie A Tie Tie
The HowTie from Fred is a tie that features pictorial instructions on how to tie the damn thing. Personally, I think they look like hieroglyphics, but I've never tied a tie before. And for the rest of you out there that can't, or don't want to learn, I've got two words for you: get a blogging job. We don't wear ties. Or pants. Hell, sometimes we don't even sport underwear. Isn't that right? Back me up here, Superficial and Iwatchstuff Writers. Whoa, too close! I meant verbally.
Thanks to Britany, who once heckled me on the bus after work for not wearing drawls.

I think this would only be helpful for someone standing in front of this person who needs help with a tie. I would rather laugh at the person who can't tie a tie than help them so I'll pass on ths one.

well thats great if you do not know how to make a half windsor. I'd buy this and tie a full windsor just because....

I suppose I was lucky enough to have a father who taught me to tie a tie when I was but a wee lad. What can I say...I'm just that damn good.

Totally agree with #3. If you can't tie a Windsor knot you shouldn't be allowed to wear a tie - fuckin' plebs.

my fiance needs this...at least by April.
I would definitely let him wear this to the wedding if it meant I didn't have to tie his damn tie for him again ha ;D
