As a long-time Minneapolitan I feel I should point out that Don Shelby didn't start working in broadcast news until the late 1970s, and not as an anchor until the 1980s. He retired from active broadcasting in 2004.
Amazing, thank you so so much! There's this one tie of mine, no knot would look good on it, but the Shelby knot did it! I'm really glad I got to see this video. Keep up the good work! (My God, what a bunch of complainers down there)
Nonsense! I've been tying that knot since the late 50's. It's really what has been known as a "Windsor Knot", it is also similar to a "Victory Knot" promoted by Winston Churchill. Where the knot ends up being a perfect symmetrical "V".
I am so glad you referred to this as the Shelby Knot and not as the Pratt Knot! Mainly because here in England ‘prat’ means a woefully and hilariously incompetent person.
I'm sorry but a windsor knot is the manliest knot out of them all, if that doesn't get you a job, laid or out of trouble, I don't know what will. My Dad taught me the 3 standard knots as a kid and always told me the best is the Windsor and I found that as I've grown up I've been given a lot of respect for donning the Windsor knot seeing as most people my age (I'm 18) can barely even do a 4 in hand.

You forgot to mention one of the biggest attributes of this knot which is the dimple it creates in the knot itself.

This is how I've been tying my ties since I was a kid. My mom taught me how to tie it like this. I thought this was how everybody tied it.
The developer was Jerry Pratt...Shelby just popularized it.
Don Shelby can now be heard on the Tom Barnard Podcast. Great guy, down to earth, and funny as hell!
love the tune after the video :)

Awesome knot
Many thanks for this video- simple yet elegant knot- exactly what I needed
Thanks so much I had forgotten how to tie a tie
Thanks! I know this is an old video but please proofcheck your soundlevels before posting, and that advice is for everyone.
thanks man!!!!!
I knew this as the Pratt knot.
fine instruction - and extra respect for having the Boston Strong Boy as your logo
You may want to adjust the volumes in this video, along with the others. I have to crank it way up to hear you after the intro music.
awsome...
I didn't know it had a different name other than the pratt knot

I'm confused, is he left handed or doing it in reverse so that it is as you would see it looking down?
Yes, my Dad thought me how to tie that knot of my school uniform and im pretty sure he called it a Full Windsor.
I just learned how to tie this knot in second period. Great video thanks alot, this is a great knot, i am getting mad girls already thanks!!!
@Rascaduanok which is exactly what I am when I attempt this knot
71! And I have an IQ of 192.
Funny, Gav47, MY Dad taught me how to tie it for my school uniform too. Academy of Perpetual Help in PR ca. 1944-45
Isn't this like the reverse full Windsor? Either way it's pert manly
That's almost exactly the same as a Windsor knot.
Almost
This knot is pimp as hell. Its almost as awesome as sexual panther, which as you know has real bits of panther in it, so you know its good.
That's a double Windsor.
FabianoAlmeidaMoreno
yes
@destructopoo Nope its the reverse Half Windsor
Ha! I see you used a loop from the Garage Band.
ooops - sorry, he retired in 2010.
These knots all look exactly the same.
Is this not also called the Pratt?
Looks exactly like the Half Windsor when it's done.
