How to Tighten a Self-tie Bow Tie with a Slider

- Add 19 inches (48 cm). That’s the length you need from the bow tie's end to the slider.
- Slide it to the right spot.
- Tighten the first simple knot until it’s snug.

How to Tighten Your Self-tie Bow Tie with Measurement Holes
- Measure your neck.
- First try the hole closest to your ideal length.
- Tighten the first knot and make sure it's snug before tying the bow.
- Check the fit.
- If it’s not tight enough, try a shorter setting or ensure the bow tie isn't too long.
How to Adjust a Bow Tie with a Slider
- Decide if the strap needs to be shorter or longer.
- For a shorter length, hold the slider and pull it towards the bow tie.
- For longer length, slide the slider away from the bow tie to release excess strap.
- Pop it on and see how it feels.
- Adjust as needed.
