Perhaps, but my objection was not to the lack of tie boaner, but the scale of the knot relative to the collar. I have a couple of ties like this, and I'll use a half-windsor to give it some heft. I know that's against the orthodoxy, but there it is.


I'm not a knot nazi so whatever you like... I do think people overthink the collar size/tie knot thing here and the dimble thing.

Busy week. Only two photos.

Odd coat, charcoal trou.


This shirt may get me trouble here. The dark lines are green.

Thanks for the comments SB and Ed. I've never tied anything other than a standard FIH, but I'm willing to try other options. And it's nice to hear comments from the guy who actually made the tie, one of the reasons why I like supporting SF-local businesses.

On the double FIH, does the wide blade go under both loops or in between the two?

I think this qualifies as tasteful.
