I bought the blue pinstripe and a black suit. They fit me so well they dont even need any tailoring. I couldnt believe it.

The problem with the modern tie is too much material. Tying a Windsor knot creates a huge knot. Which btw, I find acceptable for a Victorian inspired look but less so later eras.Mrs. Merl said:Mine ties into an okay full windsor (sp?) - I have to tie a big knot because being a lady the ties ends up too long otherwise.

Not a bad vest imho.

Have you ever tried a vintage tie? The shorter ties allow you to tie knots other than a Windsor if you prefer w/out the excess material and bulk.
