Neckties at the convention.

The other advantage of a Windsor knot is that it uses up quite a bit of the material, meaning you don't walk around with the tie hanging down below your waist making you look slightly foolish.
I was only joking

Who the fuck wears ties anymore? Y'all go out with your bowler hats and walking sticks, too?
Please love yourself.

I haven't worn a tie since 1997 except to funerals.
I still wear a bowler hat as it tends to produce a conditioned fawning response in the native population. They'll do anything for you around here if you wear a bowler and give them shiny things whilst talking with a nice accent.

I have to wear the extra long length ties.

Actually yeah, if I had a gun cane I'd absolutely go everywhere with it.

The knot is named after the infamous Nazi sympathizer the Duke of Windsor, formally Edward VIII, and as such should really be renamed The half-Hitler.
If you think I'm exaggerating, take a look at this picture, where Edward is very clearly checking out Adolf's neck-tie....

The other way to deal with that issue is to be tall. Or fat.

When I had a real job, I wore the tie everyday. After around 2001 very few others wore one. When I left in 2006, I was still wearing one most days.
A collar is required now on the golf course.
But for the rest of the day, it is either a gray t-shirt or a dark-gray t-shirt.

It does look like they put that meat on the pan during the Eisenhower administration.
Mrs. George would love it...

When I was in consulting we wore ties until deep into the dot com era when it suddenly became uncool. Then when the bubble burst we all put our suits and ties back on. First the managing partner did, next day the rest of us did. There was never a memo about any of this.

I wear ties quite often and own quite a few. I use the four in hand knot mostly. Also, I've recently taken to buying ties from various museums. They have have reasonable pricing and interesting selections.
I just got this at the Getty Museum:
and these at the Met in NYC:
