My navy blue 8 in tie fits my son perfectly. The color is dark and handsome, and the velcro has plenty of length along the neck to allow for very large-very small necks. The actual length of the tie is just right for a toddler; there's no need to tuck it in or play around with it. You will be satisfied with this tie. There is even an adorable "Jacob Alexander" embroidered tag in the back... so cute and professional.
