I go with a double FIH for narrow collars, and the Knize knot for spread collars that need a heftier knot to fill up space.

Unless you have your ties shortened/lengthened when you buy them, which is getting a bit carried away I think.

I use that knot in my lighter lining ties to get a better knot. Actually was called " Italian " knot.

What do you call this knot?
I just checked my 85 ways to ie a tie book, and it´s actually a " Nicky " knot. Never herad the word " knize " either.

Oh yeah, just to stay on-topic: It appears to me that many Italians prefer their knots less taut. Maybe that's the secret of the Italian knot?
Thanks for a the replies. So I looks as though on the double FIH the large blade goes UNDER the two pass overs and not between them? Or is it a matter of ppersonal preference? I've seen some vids that has it going between them. The Prince Albert, Victoria and Double FIH seem the same to me.
I call it " rookie " knot, commonly used by bad politicians. It´s horrible man. It should have the V shape, yours looks as a cilinder.
In my experience Prince Albert means under the two pass overs and Victoria means between them. I've never heard the term Double FIH before this post.
Certain Italians want the back blade to show. Thus, it may never have a perfect V-shape.
