Launderette Films: How To Tie A Bow Tie
The pièce de résistance to our lessons and guides, Launderette is proud to introduce its very own instructional bow tying tutorial. With so many, quite serviceable, bow tie videos out there, we knew ours had to be something unique. So in homage to our favorite new wave auteurs, we put together a how-to film with a french twist. It figures Cahiers would have wanted you to know how to get these things around your necks as much as we do.
We hope this inspires a few of you to maybe try an alternative to your bolo. Rest assured, with a little practice it’s as easy as tying your shoes.
* There are a bunch of Launderette products lurking about this video. See how many you can find.

so dope.
As a debonair street-tough, I endorse this video as informative and arousing.
BRAVO!!
Classy!
I feel like there should be a discussion about the virtues of Serge Gainsbourg immediately following watching this video; it’s just that cool.
Nicely done, très informatif! I just recently learned how to tie a bow-tie, but if I hadn’t, this is the video I would have wanted to have learned from.
Finally, I can remember how to tie a tie and relish in noir flavor as I do it. Thank you. Beautiful vignette.
