Yeah, probably. Tie makers face them with all sorts of shit now, to keep them from wrinkling and make them keep shape through all sorts of abuse. And people are so used to crappy thick ties they think any knot other than a four-in-hand looks huge.
that said, a lot of people don't actually tie the windsor correctly -
Correct
Incorrect, though what this site call the "English" knot is actually the Windsor done correctly.
