I have style 10 (paisley: orange, yellow, gold, pink, blue...something else). I wear ties to work and I've had the same ties for about twenty years so I thought I'd buy some new ONES! Anyway, I've bought the $10 six-packs from other vendors and they're crap honestly. These seem pretty solid, and they are GORGEOUS. The colors are right in line with the photos. Time will tell how long they last, but they definitely feel thicker and of better construction than the others.
