How do I tie my tie correctly ?
The tie should be tied in a Windsor knot.
|
1) The wide end
"W" should extend about 12 inches below narrow end
"N". Cross wide end "W" over narrow end
"N".
|
|
2) Bring wide end
"W" up through loop between collar and tie; then back
down.
|
|
3) Pull wide end
"W" underneath narrow end "N" and to the left,
back through the loop and to the left again so that the wide end
"W" is inside out.
|
|
4) Bring wide end
"W" across the front from left to right.
|
|
5) Pull wide end
"W" up through the loop again.
|
|
6) Bring wide end
"W" down through the knot in front.
|
|
7) Using both
hands, tighten the knot carefully and draw up to collar.

How
do I shine my shoes ?
1.
Spread a medium-thick layer of paste polish over the portion of the shoe to be
spit shined.
2.
Allow it to dry for 5 to 10 minutes.
3.
Wrap a soft, clean cloth around your index finger so that it is smooth (no
wrinkles). Alternately, you can use a cotton ball. Dip your finger or the
cotton ball into a container of water. The cloth/cotton should be wet, but not
dripping.
4.
Buff the dried polish (using a circular motion) with the wet cloth/cotton
ball, until the wax starts to become shiny.
5.
Still using the damp rag on your finger, apply a fine layer of polish in a
circular motion and keep on rubbing lightly until a hazy shine develops.
6.
Using the (now) damp cloth, or cotton ball, keep applying THIN coats of wax,
buffing them with a small circular motion.
7.
When the shoe is highly glossed, use a clean dry soft cloth or a shining brush
to give it a final buff.
Tips:
-
The
reason to use a wet cloth is to stop the fine coats of polish sticking to
the cloth and to encourage the polish to stick to the leather.
-
You
want to keep on building up thin layers of wax until you have a completely
smooth surface that gives the glossy shine.
-
After
the first heavy coat of polish you must use small amounts of polish to
build up the shine. If you use too much polish, it will dissolve the base
you have already built up
