This is the first tie I've purchased from The Tie Bar, and honestly, I had no idea what to expect from a $15 silk tie. As it turns out, the construction, fabric and finish are easily on par with $100-$200 ties. If you're a fan of big tie knots, the full windsor knot, the pratt knot, etc - this tie is for you. After wearing it on three or four occasions, I'm quite pleased. It's hard to find a decent tie that doesn't bore people to death or look like something you'd find on the manager of a Vegas casino, but this tie nails the thin fashionable line in-between the two.
