This is a high quality 100% silk "true" skinny tie.  2 inches is what I mean by "true".  A lot of high end ties like from Hugo Boss make skinny ties that are 2 1/2 to 3 inches.  This is likely not the look you are going after.  Landisun make some nice ties but this one is unbeatable.  The black is a really deep dark black.  Perfect for a more modern young look to wear with a tuxedo.  I'm wearing mine with a slim fit tuxedo from Hugo Boss and it looks great.  I returned both a black skinny tie from Hugo Boss and from Calvin Klein as neither compared to this beauty.  Oh...and at this price!  Awesome!
