How to Tie an Ascot
The ascot is a type of neckwear that looks like a cross between silken scarf and necktie. The ascot originated in England during the late 19th century, and it got its name from the horserace called the ’Royal Ascot’ – an exclusive horserace at which men were required to wear an ascot tie in combination with a tailcoat jacket. Today the ascot tie is much less common, and usually worn during very formal day-time events and formal weddings.

Tying the Ascot-tie Instructions:

tie_an_ascot-tie.jpg


  1. Lay the ascot around your neck so that the stichng faces your body. Make sure that one end, the side needed for the wrapping, hangs down much lower than the other end.

  2. Wrap the longer end around the other.

  3. Repeat step #2 a second time

  4. Just like when tying a Four-in-Hand Necktie knot, take the longer end and pull it through the gap between your neck and the ascot.

  5. Let the longer end lay over the slightly shorter end.

  6. Give it a final adjustment, and if you prefer, use a pin (often times a decorated with a pearl) to secure the knot at the center.

thirtysomething: Where Are They Now?

Before This Is Us, there was thirtysomething, an ensemble drama about a group of friends in their 30s living in Philadelphia and trying to navigate the challenges of career, family, love, and growing up. Now entering the same decade as its central characters, thirtysomething remains a beloved series for its groundbreaking exploration of the angst and unique challenges facing baby boomers entering adulthood. Even though it only lasted four seasons, it had a lasting impact on the television landscape influencing everything from Seinfeld to Parenthood. The term “thirtysomething” first entered the Oxford English Dictionary as a word to describe people in their thirties in 1993 as a result of the show’s popularity. Many of the cast members have gone on to memorable roles (on and off camera) in TV in the 30 years since.

Essential knots: how to tie the 20 knots you need to know
One of these knots could save your life one day.

Knot tying has always been one of those key outdoor skills that the inexperienced take for granted. The experienced outdoorsman, however, has had enough success and failure to know that there are right and wrong knots for certain jobs.

But first, it helps to know a few strange terms. Put it simply, a knot is some kind of fastening or splice made by intertwining one or more ropes or some other flexible material. After tightening a knot, it should hold on its own. A hitch is a little bit different. It’s like a knot, but it generally involves another object like a stick, a post, a ring, or occasionally another rope. Properly tied, hitches can hold their place, or they may be able to slide, depending on the hitch you choose. A lashing is like a hitch, but slightly more complex. Lashings involve the use of a rope or similar material to secure two or more objects together. To grossly oversimplify all this, the knot is just rope fastened together; the hitch is a rope fastened to an object; and a lashing is a rope fastening multiple objects together.

A good knot can save lives when you’re dealing with a survival situation, performing first aid, and when working over heights or water. But, you have to know how to tie it. So make sure you know what to do with your rope the next time you head into the wild by learning these 20 essential knots.
