oh, but if the tie is too symmetrical it "looks affected".

bahahahaha! well stated.

Windsor knot looks better with ties that are of super thin material because nothing looks worse than a teeny tiny four-in-hand on a normal width tie. Then again, if your ties are that lacking in material, it might be time to invest in some better ties. I have a variety of ties, some cheap and some very nice, and the nice ties almost always have big knots even with a four-in-hand.

It does not matter that the some half witted Duke invented it, there is nothing that says "middle class" as loudly as the windsor knot. Go take a look at the Wall Street boys as they walk out of Morgan Stanley or Goldman. I will give you a dollar for every windsor and you give me a buck for every big boy knot and i will get rich.

Now that is a funny post. Especially when used to dig this slap and tickle fight up from 8 months ago.

I haven't heard that much pretension since the last bad 80's movie I watched. I hope I at least get to have a training montage before our final skiing contest. You know the one where if I win I prevent your dad from turning our rec center into luxury condominiums?
