    Hey, I'm Charles from Louis Purple. We're in New York. And I'm going to teach you how to tie the Merovingian knot. It's also called Ediety knot. So the way you want to start for this knot, it's a knot that goes around the narrow side quite a few times, so you want to wear the wide end fairly long compared to the narrow end, probably about 20 inches below depending on the length of your tie.
    So this is how you start. The wide end goes underneath the narrow end. You go over the top once and pull it out on the same side. So this is what you have. Now you go over to the front, underneath through the back, and now you should be in this position so the tie is upside down. So this is a tie from my friend Cara Patrizio from Capelli in Naples, Italy. And this is how you proceed. So your tie is upside down. You go around the back, through the top. You're almost there. Now the last step you have to complete is reverse the knot, loosen it gently, and slide the white part inside the loop that you've created for that. Adjust it nicely. Tighten the knot, and there you go. You have your Merovingian knot. So after spending so much time tying the knot, it's something you don't want to wear when you're really casual.
    It's really a knot that is used in formal occasions, probably wearing a three piece suit, for example, or a nice blazer. And definitely going with a sophisticated look with this type of knot. The guy who created this knot probably watch Matrix a little bit too much, but this is probably where the name came from, the Merovingian knot.

    I believe back on Halloween of 2017, I dressed up as the Merovingian. I already knew how to tie this one, seeing as it's one of my favorites. I wore it, and I looked amazing. 😊

    After struggling for over an hour with this knot and only being able to tie it twice, I had almost given up already. Thank you for this video, it certainly helped me quite a bit, as otherwise, I would have quit on this task!

    What a great knot, although I think I would have the thin end a little lower to balance out the look -- but if it's behind a vest or a low v-neck sweater who cares -- it's a great knot!!

    This is hands down the single most beautiful knot I've seen. You'd need a really good quality silk- solid colour or maybe tiny polka dots and very carefully seamed. Cheap ties will not work with this.

    This is good to if yours tie is too long and you don't want to cut it or if you don't have shorter one.
    There's only 2 things to do:
    1) reverse a tie upside down so you're watching her back side while you are tieding it
    2) take her off and reverse it again so the wider side is on the front.
    It doesn't look bad so :)

  • @DavidRamirez0897

    This knot looks a lot better with a lighter color tie and a different fabric i.e. silk. Plus, this knot is meant to be worn with a vest or jacket. It's a nice knot just not stand alone.

    I like the knot, but don't want the skinny side in front. I'm going to try this but reverse the starting position (wide side on my left instead of my right). Hopefully it will come out with the wide side on top.
