This particular tie is a bit too long for a four-in-hand knot, which is my usual pick. I agree that the double FIH is at odds with the rest of the look, but I couldn't resist the temptation to add just a little bit of flair. In the past I have used a type of knot that my father taught me, but which I haven't been able to identify, for longer ties. It's not quite a half Windsor. I will try to post some pics in the future using this knot.I'd feel comfortable getting a home loan or taking your legal advice, etc; the one thing that throws me off is the tie knot

Bro, what happened to your pocket square?
yay flannel... we had some cold days last week up the coast and dug out some heavy tweed for it. 40+ degrees warmer here now. The flannel comes back in october here and Im north of you. Great look, dang I miss my long coats already.Summer doesn’t really come to San Francisco till September, especially with the offshore winds. But at least flannel season can continue.

I've always had some trouble with the knots on these ties as well, and it's nice to hear that it wasn't all in my head! I am willing to work with the wonky knots though, because they are great looking ties. Time to check to see whether they are on sale again...I enjoyed your posting, in part because I have a bow tie in exactly the same ancient madder as today's four in hand. I also have several ancient madders from BB of about the same vintage, and there is something slightly wonky about the way that they knot - perhaps the wrong (or not enough) lining, so the knot issue is not all of your own making.

I like the idea here but I'm not feeling the grey trousers, or at least that shade of grey. Tan cotton is where my brain defaults too. And the shoes make sense but also may be too matchy with the top block. Also too close in shade to the mulch.
