Did not get a fit pic in today because of the weather in NYC, however I can personally test that crusty was in excellent taste.

Thanks for the honest feedback. What specifically is wrong with the jackets? They only cost $150 each. Thought I'd use them for leisure.

The spoo talk right now brings up one of the questions ive been having since starting to experiment with the fih knot. Im noticing a lot more of the collar band is visible and the thin part of the tie that wraps around the neck shows a great amount. This looks sort of off to me, but is it normal? Do I just suck at tying this knot?

 

No fit pics for today, but I have an interview for a promotion on thursday, so tomorrow ill have some outfits for you guys to critique. And Im gonna need to get it because you guys are making me go poor with all these new clothes ive decided I must have after hanging around this thread!

I'm not sure if there is a hard and fast rule about this. I think you notice the band the most on Finamore, Barba, Borrelli, and other higher end shirt manufacturers. I personally like it, although for pure business professional wear you are better going with a pointed classic collar which makes it practically difficult to have this effect.

Damn you caught me before I edited my post into something resembling proper english. Im not wearing high ends shirts but the smaller size of the knot still shows a good deal of band. I think it might just be the change thats throwing me off, and not that it actually looks bad. At school, every moron in a pre-packaged shirt/tie combo used a fih knot so I just have some residual prejudice towards it.

Clapy made a comment on my spread collared shirts about two months ago, suggesting that I make the collar higher. I got three made and am really happy with the results. I had an extra 1.5cm put on, which of course meant that they had to lengthen the collar (wings? what are they called?) 

 

Anyway, in hopes of adding to the discussion:

The slighty higher collar (Click to show)

 

 

1000

 

Original spread collar (Click to show)

 

1000

(I know the shirt definitely doesn't work with anything else here. Too formal. Managing levels of formality is something I struggle with because of wardrobe limitations; most of what I own is pre-SF...I only started buying less formal shirts after sugarbutch took me to school.)

 

1000

 

 

My head is a bit big for my body, so I think the slightly bigger collars are more flattering than the smaller ones. The actual increase was minute, but there's a difference.

They were not the decos. I had three pairs of shoes with me, and these were the least of them.

Interesting. So, what does that mean? Does it look/feel different?

"Acetoniserad krage" means a permanent starched collar. You just need to iron it when it´s wet The design of the shirt and collar leads me to date the shirt to the 1940´s

Yes, they are from the 40's. I bought a bunch of these shirts from a dead stock and sold them in no time at all. Sweden's got some dedicated vintage shoppers.
