My profile picture is the example of that as well.
That's a good idea. Does it work with double-windsor though, are you up into the wide part of the tie - too wide for a dbl-windsor?

I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work with Double-Windsor with a typical long tie. Again, that depends on your tie's size and its width.

maybe it's my fingers, i always find it a bit simpler to tie a DW with the skinnier part, maybe also because im taller, and i need the length of the tie so it falls mid buckle in a normal suit situation - ergo forcing me to use the skinnier part of the tie.

if my tie is a little on the long side I change the knot to a trinity. it shortens the length of the tie and looks classy. it's also a little different. I used this knot when I was looking for a job and it turned out it was a subtle way to stand out a bit. link below is how to tie it.
