A windsor with extra loops.

Just switch over to ascots already and get it over with. You know you want to.

I tried the Balthus. My God, that's a complicated knot. I'll try the Hanover next.

To the OP, can we see photos of your collars with the tie in place?

As an FYI, you can get ties that are especially designed for 'large' knots.

The Tie Rack, for one, carries them.

Or have a tie maker whip one up with an extra thick interlining.

I'm interested in seeing someone actually pull off the large knot look with panache.

I'll definitely post some pictures. They'll probably need my disclaimer just as much as anything else I post.
