Quick DEU TIE KNOT question

[BernDawg]

It never ceases to amaze me.  The amount of resistance guys have to learning how to properly tie a tie.  I use a double windsor and the knot is nice and tight and small if you do it right.  Just like my Mom showed me 20 odd years ago when I signed up (she was a drill instructor after all...)
Yup truly amazing that the guy who topped by basic had to get me to tie his tie  :brickwall:

Oh don't get me wrong I hate ties but they are part of our DEU and as such should be respected as a part of our uniform.  I can count the number of times I've worn a tie out of uniform on one hand.  I can assure you it was under duress but it was tied the same way -  a nice tight double windsor.
just my $0.02
Cheers

I have just purchased... a zip up tie, I kid you not. Most amazing invention ever. Already tied, the thin end of the tie is one big zipper that goes together when tightened and unzips when loosened.  ;D

Brother. They are not new been around forever but sometimes fall out of fashion.  Back in the days of Loverboy (that's a band BTW) they were red leather and tres cool to boot. (still never wore a tie if I didn't have to)
