There might be a reasons not to prefer a four-in-hand knot but I don't think sloppiness could possibly be one of them. It's simple and unobtrusive.
Any knot can look sloppy if it isn't tightened to the collar.
I have seen some men wear the 4 in hand with great charm. I personally think the Half Windsor is the most elegant. If the tie is unlined and/or very light silk I find a Full Windsor to be quite dashing.
It's a grotesque and overly bold hue, is all I'm saying. You'd have to be colour blind, to find it attractive.
Well, unless Butler is pulling our leg it's he who is color blind. But he has track record to prove that he is not. Thus, we are discussing a matter of taste and preference in color and when it comes to squares there's a lot of leeway.
I dislike the fold (and everyone else should too) but if that's the most heinous monstrosity you've ever seen, you've lived a charmed life.
And haven't read much of this threak.

No, it ain't. It's pretty much perfect as one has come to expect from Butler.[/quote]

But then again I'm a fan and thus biased perhaps.
Well Gentelmen, here is the heinous Rubinacci monstrosity in all its glory for your further dissection
Butler, your Community Profile picture is my favorite picture on Style Forum. Your regular Avatar is spectacular. You wear Full Evening Dress effortlessly, with the utmost regal poise. Your Elegance is truly majestic.
Thus further cementing my feeling that pocket squares are something I will never understand. Which has not kept SF from providing the impetus to begin purchasing them.
There Twenty3 I just flipped it for you. Much better this way round.
I like this outfit on you dude. I think you carry it off well as a young guy.
Pretty funky colours, but very intense. A good fit for 23 posts. In terms of texture and pattern not too bad either.
Post Edit: Ahhh!!! I gotit now, your twenty3 and this is your 23rd post... Cool The silky shit - pin it in place against the inside of the front of the pocket.
loving the look...though someone will tell me that I should have just thumbs up.
