    I find that on a daily basis the tie ends up in a different position it is simply a function of tying a tie, this would then denote some leeway in the length of said tie, longer than in my photo would I think look sloppy, however I do not think that the length achieved is sloppy at all. To my eye it looks far better than a tie that is entirely too short.

    I did not intend to mean that I thought you looked sloppy. I really only meant that about ties and low riding pants.
