Nick D said:I see tie knots bigger than that almost on a daily basis. I've heard them refered to as 'footballers knots'.
Lear said:Thanks for the replies. I keep on getting asked if I'm on my way to a wedding, by people I vaguely know, as well as by random strangers. I could do without furthering that impression. It must be the plain white pocket square that's doing it.
avedwards said:I think the tie is perfectly acceptable for everyday wear as long as you wear it with the right sort of suit (one like the one pictured is fine IMO).
As for the comments, ignore them. The strangers who comment about your clothes in the UK are usually complete morons. At least I get so many random "Indiana Jones" or "Inspector Gadget" comments even when I don't remotely resemble them other than that I have a grey fedora on.

Cooper's tie has a woven or printed gingham pattern. (Think picnic tablecloth.)
