I don’t care for the Sid Mashburn knit ties given the width but I also have a bigger frame than you.What's a good width for a silk knit tie? I know they're typically going to be narrower than standard business ties but the ones on sale at Mashburn are like 2.15" and that just seems so skinny.
Postscript: Should I buy a silk knit tie?
Way too skinny for me. Isn’t the general rule that the width of the tie and lapels should match? A super-skinny tie worn with a “normal” suit would look weird to me.What's a good width for a silk knit tie?

My standard business ties are around 3.25" give or take 1/8 inch but knit ties always seem to be narrower? I wonder if that's because they're square so the width at the knot ends up being the same as the width at the bottom. Where would one find slightly wider knit ties?Way too skinny for me.

I generally try to stick to 3.5”/9cm ties. Nothing smaller than 3.25 in my wardrobe.
Maybe Shinumi Firenze or HN White? I have grenadines but no traditional knit ties. Now I’m curious and will research tonight!My standard business ties are around 3.25" give or take 1/8 inch but knit ties always seem to be narrower?

Do all knit ties have square tips? That’s probably why I don’t have any then. Wore those in college but not beyond.Anything bigger than 2.75 is too big for a knit tie. I have sulka knit tie at 3in and its way too big.
8 shall be the width of the tie, and the width of the tie shall be 8! 7 is right out!I have mostly 9 cm ties from Drakes, Hober etc. That is my preferred width for “regular” ties. 8cm is OK, but borders on too narrow to me, 7 is right out.
Apparently it's difficult to knit at angles. So unlike most ties, which are woven, knit ties are square. I don't know how to do either, nor do I know how to sew a button.Do all knit ties have square tips? That’s probably why I don’t have any then. Wore those in college but not beyond.
