00:00 How to tie the formal Ascot Introduction
Learn how to tie a formal daywear ascot which is also known as the cravat. It’s an item with a very vintage aesthetic and it’s particularly popular in Britain. We can still see worn for weddings, or at Royal Ascot when people wear morning wear with a top hat and a proper type Ascot.
02:31 Tie An Ascot The Popular Way
First, find the label in the middle of the formal ascot and place it firmly against the back of your neck.
Second, you don't want both sides to be at the same length so you pull on the right side until it's about 4 to 5 inches longer which is about 10 to 12 and a half centimeters. Ideally, you want the formal ascot to be very wide on the left side and very slim on the right side.
Now you take the slim end from the right, fold it diagonally over the left, with your left hand take the part that you just fold it over and bring it back to the original side, pull it a little snug.
Now again, bring that end that you just brought to the right and fold it over once more around to create what will be the knot.
Now with your left hand, you take the tip go back behind and push it up from the back so it comes out on top.
Pull a little bit so your knot tightens up a little bit. Just like a regular four in hand knot, you take the tip now and push it through the hole that you just created.
Ideally, you want to pull up and push up that knot a little bit so you create some wrinkles and so it doesn't look like a regular necktie. You'll also notice it's much bigger and that's okay.
Once you've done that, simply pull on the long end in the back and adjust the knot until it sits snugly against your collar. Ss you can see, the front end is much shorter than the back end and it looks kind of odd, however, you only wear a formal Ascot with a formal waistcoat or a vest.
So as a final step, you simply have to tuck it into your vest and it looks great. Voila! the popular way to tie a formal Ascot. If you're not wearing it at the end of the day, simply unravel the knot in the opposite way you tied it which means you pull through the front part first and unwind it, very simple.
05:46 Tie An Ascot The Popular Way The Traditional Way
First, locate the label in the middle of the formal Ascot and place it firmly against your shirt collar.
Once again, you pull the right side slightly longer about three to four inches or seven and a half to 10 centimeters.
Now the right side is folded over the left side and then brought up through the hole that you just created in the back.
Now the part that you just pull through should be in your right hand and the other part should hang straight down.
Now you take the part that just hangs down with your left hand and point it to your right. Subsequently, you take the piece in your right hand and you just pull through and fold it over so now it points downwards.
Once you're done with that, you take the point that hangs down vertically and bring it up through the loop you just created from underneath.
Once we got it through the hole, you pull firmly on both ends of the formal ascot. You can adjust the knot a little bit and you can see it creates a horizontal knot with some wrinkles. Now ideally, you want to take the item on the left and have it point to the right and the item from the right point over to the left. Basically, the two ends cross each other.
Now that you have folded over both ends in an X shape, you can tuck them into your waistcoat, keep adjusting until you like the look.

Jesus, that bottle green double breasted velvet waistcoat is gorgeous.
I agree
Thank you for this - I have little need to wear formal wear in my usual day-to-day life, but I needed to learn to tie an ascot for a costume I'm making, believe it or not. Very helpful and easy to follow.
If only I had opportunities to dress so elegantly! I'm "overdressed" in a sport coat most of the time, and have never had a place to wear such a formal ensemble.
Same, I try to wear a sportscoat and some slacks instead of jeans and a tee and I get weird looks. Literally any effort at all is too much.
@@IaidokaNC ignore those looks, they are enjoying your suaveness. Are you wearing mid or high waist slacks?
Life saver. The only suit I normal where is a wetsuit. Thank you so much for putting this video out there🤙
Very beautiful cravats, I probably wouldn't be able to spend the day since I would try to get the Cravat to look perfectly symmetrical.
Hi A cravat at Royal Ascot is, I believe, "frowned upon" a traditional neck tie is expected. Just thought this might be of interest.Aside from that, love the video
Informative and entertaining as always with the extra special ingredient of class. Excellent as usual.
Love your vest! The colour is really nice.
Hey, love the videos. I was wondering if you could do a video on manners since they differ depending on where you come from.
Gutes Video!
Can you show us how to properly wear a monocle, and suits that are appropriate for them? Thanks!
No, that's too much into period clothing.
The proper suit for the look you are thinking of would be the morning suit worn in this video.
@@gentlemansgazette Oddly, hipsters are bringing back the monocle. It goes so well with the elaborate lip-weasels so many are sporting these days.
@@gentlemansgazette actually I wouldn't mind videos on learning about period clothing. Just would have to make sure that they are for educational purposes and not for actual wearing tips like the rest of your videos :D
Hogan's Heroes is on yt now, style off of Col. Klink (heh)
¡Quedó buenísimo!
Digo los nudos de la corbata...
As far as I know you're actually not allowed to wear a cravat even formally at Ascot, it has to be a standard long blade tie and the same goes for frock coats which I think is a shame. At weddings people normally wear a 'rouched' cravat with a four in hand knot but they're usually pre-tied...
Frock coats haven't been a standard part of morning dress since the early 20th century though. Whilst I do prefer to adhere to the "strict" traditions of modern morning dress (even if saying such a thing is contradictory), I do recognise that the nice things about weddings is that the couple can essentially do away with traditional dress codes and make up their own (at their own risk of course). It's a shame that those who don't know morning dress well end up with bad rented ensembles, featuring the pre-tied ruches you mention, foisted upon them.
@@zoukatron thats what making the ascot banned,thoose imbecile wearing pre tied nonsense,and yes frock coat ended way to early,in 1936 king george ended the dress code of frock coat at the court and suggested using cutaways
I love the look it gives, feels so elegant.
Can we wear it during night parties?
you can purchase stick pin ends to attach to the pin and keep the pin from slipping or poking you.
I’m getting married today and this helped me …. So nervous right now… thanks for the tutorial
You can use a tie tack too for the knot.
Doesn't the sharp end of the tie pin damage the tie as it protrudes out of the shirt?
Hi Sven, thanks for another great video! Would you say a formal ascot always have to pair with a waistcoat, or would a double breasted jacket suffice? Thanks!
I have seen a formal ascot worn with a double breasted tuxedo as well as regular double breasted suit and thought it looked great.
What are your thoughts on the brand TOM FORD ?
Mind if im asking,what is your silk plush brand name?im courious
could you please do a video on how to look good in hot weather, i'm aussie and have some guy mates that could use the help
geekgroupie42 seersucker suits and sports coat combos are good. As are best and pant combos
Which is the font of the gentleman's gazette logo?
Do you wear single cuff shirt as i nothiced your cuff
Great video! Can I wear a casual ascot with a wing collar shirt?
I think that mix of formality levels would be odd.
I'm going to have to go against you here. If you try to dress like this to the Royal Ascot, or more specifically to the Royal Enclosure, which requires morning dress, you might not get in. A regular tie is required. Whilst it is true to say that cravats are popular in the UK, they are only popular as part of hired ensembles, usually with matching cheap silk waistcoats and pocket squares. Any time to see someone wearing morning dress well here, they are wearing a turn-down collar and regular neck tie. Cravats are just outdated now. Having said that, good job showing the typical knots.
You are right, they changed their dress code. Here is the one for Gentlemen in 2017
www.ascot.co.uk/sites/default/files/Final%20Royal%20Ascot%20Style%20Guide%202017.pdf
Gentlemen are kindly reminded that it is a
requirement to wear either black or grey
morning dress which must include: • A waistcoat and tie (no cravats) • A black or grey top hat • Black shoes
A gentleman may remove his top hat within a
restaurant, a private box, a private club or that
facility’s terrace, balcony or garden. Hats may
also be removed within any enclosed external
seating area within the Royal Enclosure Garden.
The customisation of top hats (with, for
example, coloured ribbons or bands) is not
permitted in the Royal Enclosure
Do you not think it is odd that they would simply ban men from wearing cravats at Ascot? I find it very odd and self defeating. So much for England being the home of sartorial elegance... What needs to happen is for notable royalty such as Prince Charles to wear a cravat to Ascot, and they would most likely overturn that ban. I doubt that they would dare turn him away!
That depends on whether you consider cravats to be an example of the height of sartorial elegance within modern morning dress. I, for one, do not. Many others agree, which is why it's not part of morning dress at events like this anymore. I personally think that a cravat does look too dated now, same goes for the winged collar in this case. And don't expect the Royals to bring the cravat back into use, the general pattern has been that the British royal family has been at the forefront of leading formal wear to ever more casual forms.
Dillon Jeffares very true, but Prince Charles is very unlikely to break that rules, since they have someone to take care of the wardrobe, um... may be prince Harry 😆
Maybe outdated to you, but beautiful to me. I love them. Banning cravats from Royal Ascot is a step in wrong direction.

Handsome.
A lot of the "Well Actually" comments below re: Royal Ascot are quite funny. Imagine showing up in a formal cravat and getting bullied by all the guys in neckties.
Question: is a puff tie another name for the ascot or is it a different type of tie?
Its the same
Is ascot fashion for 2018 ? Is it okay to wear it for work?
Baker Lewiz it’s not ok to wear it for work. A casual ascot or cravat is 100% ok tho
Raphael, is it suitable nowadays to wear a regular tie with a wing collar shirt like the one you wearing in this video?
That would have been a suitable combination a century ago. Now it would look like historical costume.
Sam M I like that look.
I wear that combination too, it looks great with a three piece suit.
@@zoukatron yep,unless you go for the right thing
Its good but way to impractical
Raphael, is it possible to use morning suits for other events rather than just formal ones ?
If you want to look like you're wearing a historical costume you can.
I personally wear my stroller suit sometimes when going out during day time so I would say you can
zoukatron lol
Wearing a stroller and morning dress are very different things. Every component of a stroller outfit can be seen in informal outfits (assuming the traditional definition of informal - i.e. lounge suit or anything less formal)... wearing a morning coat will change it into a costume in most people's eyes if it's not required.
If you have a morning suit that is actually a suit(matching jacket + pants, and maybe vest) most people will just think it is a fancy suit, not costume-y. At least if the jacket isn't too long.
I was wondering where else can I wear my wedding ivory tie
Back in the 1800s some people used to tie an ascot as a bow tie. This look seems to be dead, but I think it looks pretty cool. Would you say it is appropriate for morning dress?
.
i love that style, but I dont know i i can get away with wearing it
Well if you not going to the ascot the bow ties were fine,but royal ascot banned both bow ties and plastron(formal cravats)
@@heinzguderianbutmoreyounge9659 My knowledge has advanced since my last comment, but before the turn of the century most ties were symmetrical and could be tied in any knot. Some were ascots, but many were the same width all around, and you would control the length by wrapping it around your neck multiple times.
@@xenoxols2527 yep,its still categorized as cravats and bow ties,poirot wears them and many us president(abe lincoln wear one for example)but now its hard to get one except you made them yourself or get your tailor done it
@@heinzguderianbutmoreyounge9659 There are lots of them on etsy, and a small scarf is basically the same thing. They look great with a stick pin. interestingly cravat used to just be a synonym of tie. Well the other way around really.
Do you happen to know any channels like this one but for females? It's not easy to find one for females it's like finding a needle in a haystack.😧
Does anyone know where to find detachable wing collar shirts without going bespoke?
What country are you in?
Germany...
Darcy clothing offers them!
Where can I get a waistcoat?? Not a vest but s proper waistcoat?
Vintage man!except you have couple of hundreds to go bespoke
Kinda feel the need to point out that a cravat and an ascot are two different garments, the ascot being a newer innovation than the ascot.
It's not clear why, with formal Ascot, just detachable collar and no turndown collar. The result is the same in my opinion.
The fact that Royal Ascot disallows bow ties and formal ascots and only allows neckties now is very disappointing.
Wow...$200 for a ascot, that’s dressy stuff😆
Yep,better made myself from necktie silk
No one wears a top-hat anymore. You’re stuck in the 1800’s my dude
Typically they're still appropriate for extremely formal events (white tie/morning dress)
Ask prince of charles and many british monarch and japanese,you are the one whos stuck in the mind not to research anything,cor blimey
weird comment on a video for white collar level of formality, which literally requires a top hat.
@IaidokaNC its white tie
But yeah dudes in the wrong place to be criticizing top hats
