I bought this bow tie (not sure if that's one word or two--the item title isn't even consistent with itself) for a college theatre performance.  It looks great from a distance and is easily adjustable.  Up close, though, you can really tell that it's poor quality due to threads hanging off of it.  It's great for performance or for an "everyday" look if that's your style, but if you need something for a formal event I would recommend laying out a little more money for something else.
