  • This week, I’ll teach you how to tie a ribbon tie. The ribbon tie originated way back, but you probably recognize it from KFC spokeman, Colonel Sanders.
    This was a very popular style in the Victorian Era for town folk and travelers alike. As you can see in the video, Wild Bill had a taste for the ribbon tie and we all know what he was about. There are many others as it was a preferred style for the upper class.

    Good tutorial, and a lot cheaper than the store bought recreations!

      The spool that produced that tie cost me $6 for 10 yards. That’s a lot of ties and a 1st down! Thanks for watching!

      The ones you make are in my opinion, better. I don't like the ones that stay all perfect and won't move at all. I think it should hang naturally and blow with the wind like you see in the westerns. The only thing I would do different in that case, make it way too long then cut it. Then singe it with your lighter. It can be very difficult to get just right. You can tie it a little tighter and make it quite a bit longer.

    I like them with my western/country style. I like the more country gunslingers and gamblers over the stuffy Victorian men of New York or england

    Where did you get a matching waistcoat and trousers without having to buy a whole three piece suit? Was it very expensive? I wear old timey clothes for my music act. And I've been told that I shouldn't try to match up the colors. That I should instead contrast. But it looks okay to me. I think I might buy the whole deal if it wasn't too expensive though.

      Go to Wild West mercantile! I got the double breasted vest and trousers both In burgundy and they match! They’re both made of canvas, so I’m assuming material needs to match as well as color! And the ensemble cost about $100-$120

    Sorry to inform you that the Ribbon or western string tie was invented in the 1920's. Also, just for fun, the Bolo tie wasn't invented until the 1940's.

      That's inaccurate. Search through old photos from the 1800's. So, store bought ribbon ties maybe were never sold in stores until then but I think a "tie" to someone living back then was whatever kind of fabric they had lying around. That's why you'll see scarves and bandanas and just whatever they had tied around their collar. Like how one today might pick a flower for his suit or stick some kind of handkerchief in his breast pocket.

      @@PaulTheSkeptic I've got access to volumes of old western photos from the 1800's to the 1950's that I've compiled for research into period clothing, and what I say is accurate.
