On top of that, every different style of tie knot is designed for a different tie fabric and length, as well as collar type. Some ties are designed specifically for a four-in-hand, and if you windsor it, you'll look stupid, just as you will if you attempt a windsor with a narrow collar.

I would never even consider using that company their commercials are so incredibly bad.
