How to tie a Cravat

Here are instructions for tying our Self-Tie Formal Cravats (that is, cravats which are worn over the shirt, for example at weddings).

We hope you find the instructions easy to follow. If you are still unsure, then why not buy one of our Pre-Tied Formal Cravats instead?

We also sell 'Day Cravats' (less formal, worn tucked into the shirt). Day Cravats, need no special knot, just a simple end over end knot is all that is required.

	1. Drape around your neck and take short end in your left hand (if you’re right handed).
	2. Cross long end over short end.
	3. Bring long end underneath short end.
	4. … and wrap over again.
	5. Bring the long end up through the loop you’ve created.
	6. ... and if you want a self tie cravat, just bring the long end down, tighten the knot and secure with a cravat pin or pearl headed corsage pin. If you want a Scrunchie tie ignore this picture and go on to no.7
	7. Tuck the long end through the loop you’ve created at the neck – exactly the same as a normal necktie.
