what's your secret for getting the arched tie?
No secrets; all you need is one of these! ...for me a combination of these two - lightweight tie and snug-fit collar. Is it the same for you?

My collars have a gap for the knot and are very rigid (my preference). I don't think the contact between points of the collar and body of the shirt as an aureal requirement. Actually I go for the opposite, which I've seen in many photos and like. Cut-away collars are a different thing, of course.uppercase wrote:Yes, the tie space idea does make sense so the collar doesn't push the tie downward.

Plus I'm guessing that the collar point length needs to be substantially lengthened in a custom shirt if the tie knot is not to push up the points off the shirt body. [...]

Many thanks for the link, David! I wondered quite a few times over the past months if the times might be ripe for a new London Lounge club tie (and I still have to come across surviving pictures of the first one). I was at Drake's today to play a bit with their yellow ties...davidhuh wrote:Dear Federico, they do, of course. Read my 2012 story here:
