Out of curiosity...why a four-in-hand? I have been criticized for using a full Windsor previously so I am terribly curious. One point on tie knots for women is that we are smaller than most gents and a knot often must take up more tie or it will hang to our knees...hence our choices in knots. But - I am terribly fascinated by knots and why some are preferred over others please educate me...or preferably direct me to a thread where this has already been discussed! Thank you!!

Well, for men it's all about proportion. It would take a large, thick, bull necked man to pull off a full Windsor. The same would apply for women, IMHO, unless one is striving for a theatrical or whimsical (think vaudeville) look.Mrs. Merl said:why a four-in-hand?

Better to hang over the belt a touch than having a huge concentration of fabric perched directly under your face.Mrs. Merl said:One point on tie knots for women is that we are smaller than most gents and a knot often must take up more tie or it will hang to our knees...hence our choices in knots.

AlanC how do you keep the brown polish out of those white perforations? I have a pair of AE McClains which are listed as bourbon and bone, I think. I'd like to polish them but cannot imagine how to do the kind of job you clearly have done. That Fawcett shaped panama! Woo wee.AlanC said:Thanks. Shoes are Aldens I got on clearance last year. I love 'em. Socks are Nagrani.
