Curious question from a relative newb.
I have quite a few ties. Mostly from JAB, CT, a few cheap Nautica ties, and I recently purchased some from Jim Thorpe ties while in Bangkok.
1.)
For some odd reason, each of my ties tie very differently. The JAB and Nautica ties tie the best (I use a full Windsor). Why in the world can't I get the others to look good? Granted, I'm very anal about how my ties look, but there shouldn't be something wrong with that
The CT ties are much thicker (maybe it's a British thing?) so I have to tie them using a half Windsor which I don't especially like ... but even with a half Windsor the knot is almost too big.
2.)
Some of my ties are a bit wrinkled/twisted in the area around where the knot is tied. Also, some have a (noticeable) crease on the viewable portion of the tie when knotted from packing them in my suitcase. How can I get these creases/wrinkles out aside from dry cleaning the ties?
Thanks in advance as always, gents!
