    Re: Tie knots - does it really matter?

    I've always gone with the notion that the shirt collars drive the knot choice. Narrower point styles get the 1/2 windsor, spread collars the full windsor. I don't care for spread collars, so basically always use the 1/2 windsor.

    One other thought about tie lengths, many alteration shops can alter the width and/or length of neckties.
