I am not sure what this has to do with net.women, but since it
started here . . . 
   Neckties can fit a large neck or a small one equally well --
they're not like belts with a limited number of holes; you tie them
to suit yourself, you know.  My experience is that what produces
that strangled feeling is not the necktie, but a shirt with the
wrong size collar.  It seems to be easy to get into the habit of
buying size N and never realizing that size N+1 would fit better.
