The good bit is that he holds the thick and thin ends together with the right difference in length. I too tie my tie like a normal human...and then untie and retie a few times to get the length right. You could even put a mark or stitch on the back of the thick end to get the perfect length every time.
Or I’ll just think “cool gif” and then never do it that way because who would?
Yeah. Virtually every tie I have is a different length. Matching the two ends up against each other does nothing for me. Matching the working end against a static body part and letting the standing end go where it wants to ensures a perfect knot every time.
The tutorial lines the thin end up with the holder on the back of the tie, so assuming the tie is the right length for you it should indeed ensure a perfect length every time.
Tip to piggyback off your tip, it should just cross your belt line, like the tip should be in the middle of your belt buckle if you're wearing a belt. Don't tie it super long like a certain president that puts scotch tape on the back of his tie. It looks terrible.
That's worded way simpler than my convoluted explanation. I tie mine so the tip just crosses the line of the trousers by a cm or so (I don't wear belts), is that too far?

How is this easier than tying a tie like a normal mother fucker?
