I hate leaving bad reviews but this one is warranted.

Before removing the tie from the box I had already noticed an ink blot on the front. After removing it I noticed more black spote on white areas of the tie. I would normally forgive imperfections, but these were on the front of the tie and quite noticable.

Also, I'm not impressed with the texture of the tie. The material feels like it's poor quality.

Thridly, the tie came packaged in a small box - meaning that it was folded over about ten times. There are strong creases running across the tie about every eight inches. This just isn't acceptable, even for a poor student. I would have passed this by at a thrift store.

Actual value? about $2.
