Personally, I think a larger knot would be more appropriate for such a wide spread. Consider a half windsor, or if you are really gutsy a full windsor.

IMO, youdo not want the knot to be any bigger than that. I would prefer it smaller.

+1. I would increase the length of that collar though.

I would say half Windsor, but as others have said you really don't want to go with a knot that is much bigger.
I know FIH is the most popular knot, but I just can't get over how it is asymmetrical and always looks crooked. I find it surprising that this doesn't seem to bug anyone else.

It's all part of the charm.

I don't care what anyone here says, I like cutaway spread collars and full windsor knots. It may not be the most traditional look, but its the one I like.

It is traditional; it's the the FIH with the spread collar that is a newer phenomenon.
