If I remember correctly, Fleming, through Bond, expressed the view that men who wore a Windsor knot were cads. If it wasn't Fleming, it might have been Le CarrÃ

Probably a FIH, I didn't think Bond wore much else.
'The so-called ''Windsor knot'' in the tie was adopted in America at a later date. It was I believe regulation wear for G.I.s during the war, when American college boys adopted it too. But in fact I was in no way responsible for this. The knot to which Americans gave my name was a double knot in a narrow tie - a ''slim Jim'' as it is sometimes called. It is true that I myself have always preferred a large knot, as looking better than a small one, so during the nineteen twenties I devised, in conclave with Mr Sandford, a tie always of the broad variety which was reinforced by an extra thickness of material to produce this effect. As far as I know this particular fashion has never been followed in America or elsewhere.'Originally Posted by Dimwit Nazi Duke
