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.
