I'm also a huge fan of these Tuxedo knots. Here it mine in a vintage handle restore.

Thank you. It has quickly become my favorite.

@"AndrewPalombo" (or anyone else who has one), a question about the Tuxedo knots — what is their approximate loft, and is there a pronounced glue bump?
Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”

The loft from glue base to peak is about 68mm. I wouldn't say the glue bump is noticeable but I didn't even know what it was before your question, there is one like there is with almost all knots (i think?)

Hope that helps!

To be honest, I don’t pay that much attention to glue bumps, but if they are very pronounced, they can of course affect the effective loft of a knot. If the bump in the Tuxedo is not something that sticks out to you (literally!), then I’m sure it’s not of any consequence.

Thanks for checking, I appreciate it!

Its been awhile since I provided everyone with an update!

I've updated my OP, the chrome handle project has been postponed and the G.O.A.T. will have a more off-white color.

The biggest thing for me right now is working to get a few more knots out to you guys shortly. The biggest factor right now is deciding how big of an investment I'm willing to take on. I'll provide everyone with updates as soon as I can, hopefully releasing some new knots before 2017!

Looking forward to the new knots!

Any update on when a 26mm Tuxedo knot might be available? Thanks!
