Ah, as with women then
@Bill Dlwgosh OTOH, if you would post here, people can give you advice which collar to get to make the points fit under the lapels.
I'm not saying that I plan to start buying my wardrobe straight out of the 60's but I am saying that, 60's or not, the points on 'Dom's' shirt hardly look dated to me.Honestly, I don't think you should try and copy Don... the 60s weren't the best decade for style IMO
Well, in that particular case, it's probably not reasonable to expect the points to fit under the collar—at that angle, they'd have to be laughably long. However, a narrower point collar like that limits the size of the tie knot and the tie you can reasonably wear, and that skinny tie is probably one of the 60's elements you don't want to be copying.I'm not saying that I plan to start buying my wardrobe straight out of the 60's but I am saying that, 60's or not, the points on 'Dom's' shirt hardly look dated to me.

I like Bill after he's been drinking.
But he's damn right collar points!
Don't stop posting until you get new collars (and there is no need to rush this. The world out there doesn't care if you don't look as good as you could with hidden collar points). There are other elements that you could probably work on as you build up your shirt collection.
I'm 6"5 and I have no problem with regular length ties (150cm); the solution is higher rise pants.There are taller guys than me who are regulars in here but at ~6"3 I end up tying my knots at the fairly narrow end of the blade and get smaller knots I guess. I wonder if a (slightly in my case) taller guy will end up with smaller knots on a standard length tie by default and if there's a corresponding collar strategy. Again, I realize the GNAT is more suited to these lines of chatter.
Very nice, nut imo either tie too dark or shoes too light.
