Gents,
Ever since I started seeing images of the wide necktie, tied with a very small knot, in vintage prints and photos like this around the Internet, I've given up my usual full windsor, to try to tie this (see the right-hand gentleman's tie).
I hope Mr. Dekkard and Mr. Chevalier will pardon me using their likeness here, but it's the best shot I could find on short notice.
Does anyone one what that knot is called?
I've tried using a half-windsor, but I have a short torso and wear my pants higher than the modern fashion, so without the extra turn of the full windsor, most of my ties will fall several inches below my belt buckle, which looks wrong to me.
Thanks for any assistance,
Dick
