Four-in-hand appropriate for use with spread collar?

[Britishbane]

I have an aversion to Windsor knots, which is okay when I wear a collar with points. I am aware that convention dictates the use of a broader knot, but I've taken to wearing my few spread collars with a four-in-hand. Fashion coup or fail?

Double four-in-hand works well for this, but be aware it'll always get a little sprezzatura. Basically just do two lateral loops before you pull the blade through. Little extra heft without the silly geometric giant block of a full windsor.

Depends on the size of the collar. I think a four in hand could look okay with a spread collar, but I prefer a single Windsor for just a little more bulk in the knot.

The double Windsor has been appropriated by the doucheoisie.

Thanks for the replies. I'll give both a shot.

I don't own any ridiculously spread collars, so I'm hoping the double 4IH will do the trick. If not we'll go the single windsor.

You're pretty tall, aren't you? I like the 4inH because I can get a little extra length.

As a sidenote, I just bought my first bowtie (Billy Reid). Learning new knots is fun.
