Exactly what I thought. Google reveals the way I always did it with my school uniform tie is called a four in hand knot. Honestly never occurred to me there was another way.
I've never had to wear a tie (so never needed to learn how to tie one); the secondary school went mixed as an afterthought (boys only for about 300 years), and the girls' uniform included a V neck blouse. The eldritch knot was the one my godsons wore at the last but one wedding.
Practical, VP had one for work at one point, but inelegant as fuck.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
similar problem - 19'' neck with a 42 chest, not only will a standard shirt that will go around my neck have something like a 50 inch chest, but for some reason the arms will be about 8ft long... Next do some slim-fit shirts with reduce the problem. not fantastic, but a big improvement on the standard Yurt look..
kill it, kill it in the face with fire. its like non-iron shirts or deoderant that lasts for 48 hours. idle, unkempt fuckers.

I only know one way but I don't know what it's called. That's THE way, though!

A tie is just an implied version of this, so why not go the whole hog?

Ties are weird.
I rarely wear one now, but I only ever used one knot - the one I learned for my school tie.

I eventually got a new cardigan for Christmas and now I wear it for work over a shirt and tie. It's everything I dreamed of, and more.

Where the fuck's your waist in relation to your belly button?I really struggle with a decent classic/asymmetrical tie not. By the time I've allocated enough length for the tail to hook into it's holder (and the front bit to be between belly button and waist), the tie is so thin I can't get any vertical height
.
My belly button sits almost exactly on my natural waist.

People's definition of "waist" varies a lot. My waist is on my hips and my belly button is a good 10cm above that line.

Oh, well that's what I measure for buying trousers, and that's where my trousers always sit.

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
There is no other acceptable knot.

For 'waist' read 'top of trousers' (I was, of course, talking of my proportions, and have no actual idea what 'waist' might objectively be defined as)

"The waist is the part of the abdomen between the rib cage and hips. On people with slim bodies, the waist is the narrowest part of the torso. The waistline refers to the horizontal line where the waist is narrowest"For 'waist' read 'top of trousers' (I was, of course, talking of my proportions, and have no actual idea what 'waist' might objectively be defined as)
