Re: Tie knots - does it really matter?

Some places sell extra long ties for tall people, so this could solve it for you.
Nope... If they are too short, the tail won't fit through the loop on the back and stay straight, and unless you've tied a double windsor (which again you don't have enough tie for), the tail comes in at enough of angle that it makes a "poof" or some such, sticking out the side. Rather annoying.
