I think it would be nice to get a thread of pictures with different tie knots with Keaton collar shirts. I did a search after I purchased my Keaton Collar shirt and couldn't come up with much so I think it would be good to have a "go-to" thread for people are interested in this type of collar.

If you have a pic with a Keaton collar and are wearing a tie in it post it up with the style of knot.

Here is mine. I just got it a few hours ago, it's an RLPL in white with french cuff. This was my first attempt to wear a tie with a Keaton collar. I find that too much of the tie is showing on the one side, so I'll have to work on my FIH knot when wearing this type of shirt.

You're not interested in pictures of other cutaway collars, just the one's Ralph Lauren makes and calls 'Keaton'? Why?

Seriously, how bout the same knot with different collars, that is more interesting.

I use the term interchangeably. I'm not interested in who makes the shirt, I'm interested in the tie knots used with shirts.

To the OP: the spread is far too exaggerated. I'm not even sure a wider knot would save it, but retie the tie, take another picture and show us for comparison.

I think the OP picture is perfect. Love cutaway collars, and FIH work well with them. I give it an A

I think the idea is an exaggerated spread.

This one I found on Google images. Makes mine appear tame by comparison.

Udeshi's extreme cutaway is very dramatic. Yours is a normal cutaway and doesn't look as attention-grabbing. Looks good.

I wore a Keaton collar once, and a colleague said that, "If my collar were any more spread I might fly away." I don't think it was a complement.
