I was not impressed with this tie at all. It has several flaws in my opinion.

First, the pattern. At least on the tie I received the pattern is backwards from how a bow tie that is supposed to have a specific side face up (the stars) should be made. As a result one of the bows does not look right when it is tied.

Second, the fabric which is its worst attribute. This tie is made of very thin fabric, and is very low quality, because of this, the tie does not hold form well and does not form a nice looking knot.

Third, the color. Perhaps not every tie from the manufacturer comes out as dark as mine, regardless the colors are not bright and vibrant like one finds on good quality bow ties.

Show some respect for "Old Glory" and shop somewhere else.
