Tie knots - does it really matter?

[Tobus]

I'm a tall guy--6'-6", so I use the Half Windsor as it gives me the most length while tying a nice, symmetrical knot.

I dislike the asymmetry of the Four-in-Hand, and the Full Windsor ends up leaving a couple of inches between my waistline and the bottom of the tie.



I may go to the Full Windsor with a kilt after I get my jackets converted, as the amount of shirt showing will be less!

I'm confused a little by this. Can you not shorten the small end to get the large end to the correct length? My problem is usually that ties are too long, and to get the bottom of the large end at my belt buckle, the small end hangs well below it. But you larger fellows should have plenty of adjustment. Are you saying that to get the large end at your belt, you run out of length on the small end?

Some places sell extra long ties for tall people, so this could solve it for you.
