Fellas, it's a thin madras tie. Much skinnier than the repp tie Henry's got on in the photo above. The sort that oughta be worn with a tabbed collar. With an unlined button down, the knot needs to be pulled tighter or it'd look silly. I don't mind the way the collar falls at all though. I could have easily shaped it to get more of a bell roll (I find my heavier Sero Purists don't need this) but I think it looks fine. I'll take a few more photos with different fabric/sized ties and without any at all to post comparisons. Don't think it has anything to do with the tie being pulled too tight as it does just my not bothering to shape and press down on the ends.

Not to get all personal, but how tall are you GW?

I'm 6' 5" WM.

The ones I bought were the Elston model which I know see also reads: Sits below your hips

But the Canvas slim fit chinos read the same. I hate dealing with returned parcels and credits etc but these are going straight back.

Henry, do you have a link for the chinos you've got? I thought I was getting the same but these are a dodgy cut, the rise is like 9.5"

Likewise, nice Cricketeer Captain.

Oliver,
I've had great experience returning stuff to LE.  They usually take things back no questions asked - even without tags, worn, washed etc.
