I was skeptical about a $15 tie being any good, but they surprised me.  I purchased this one as a test, and I'll be ordering plenty more in the future.  Don't get me wrong, these aren't "luxury seven-fold, silk ties" or anything, but they are definitely better than any cheapo ties you would buy at Kohl's or other department store.  I liken the quality and thickness to some Calvin Klein ties I own.  I have some nicer ties of course, but they easily cost 3 times the money.
