For the price its a perfectly fine tie,only reason i didn't give it a 4 star review is because the tie i received is quite short in lengths,i am 5'5 and by the time i finished tying it,there was maybe 4 inches on the tail  of the tie. Not that it mattered,but if i had worn a tie tac with it,it wouldve been to short for it to pierce the back tail of the tie. A little unusual,but still perfectly useable. < without a tie tac >
