The significance of a tie is lost to the ignorant barbarians.

Actually the necktie wasn't all that much a pita, the main issue was the damned LONG SLEEVED white shirts, because they kept fraying at the elbows, particularly the right elbow...

I too do not like a tight collar, or pretty much anything tight around my neck. I don't even like to wear scarves. If you buy "sized" shirts - like "34/15", the second number is the neck size, you can get something with a bigger neck size so it isn't so tight.
They also make collar extenders. I use one when I wear a dress shirt.

Working in Venezuela, it might have legitimate claims to being used for the original purpose.

Two in hand or four? (I used to teach guys how to tie ties....)

I use the Bird in Bush knot, which is worth Two in Hand.
On a related note, I see that in the ads on Facebook now, I have ads for collar extenders. Don't you love the evidence that everything you do on the Internet gets sold to someone for advertising.

Personally, I am of the opinion that if The Flying Spaghetti Monster had intended man to wear a tie, we'd have been born with a groove in our necks...
