How To Re-Tie Your Little Man Tie

In four simple (?) steps!

Step 1 - iron (sorry, but it's so much easier if everything is ironed nicely first :).   Make sure your neckband has one velcro side up and one down.  Lay your tie in the middle, looped as shown (make sure the seams are BOTH pointing down as shown).  Make sure the wider end is on top.

Step 2 - Flip the two ends of the tie UNDER the neckband and through the loop.  In this case you should end up seeing  both the seamed ends on top.  Again, make sure you have one end of velcro up and one down.
 Step 3 - Flip the tie over.  You'll notice the velcro that was up is now down, and your tie is starting to take shape. 
 Step 4 - Holding onto the neckband with one hand (as shown), gently tug on the bottom pieces of the tie to form a nice knot.  Again make sure you have one velcro end up and one down (otherwise you'll have a twist in your neckband when you go to put it on your little man).  This is the trickiest part, mostly because it can be a little hit and miss with getting your tie the size you want. 
 You're DONE!  You might need to practice a couple of times but once you get the hang of it it's awesome. We've tried NUMEROUS methods and this is by far the most simple and gives the most consistent results.  I can't tie a man's tie to save my life, but this I can now do in my sleep. 
PLEASE let us know if you need some more clarification!  It really is easy to do once you practice a little bit.  This will also help to extend the life of your little man tie by letting you re-tie it to gain a couple inches before you need to move up to the next size.
