I play in a band, and I needed a white skinny tie for dressing up.  This tie does the trick, it's cheaply priced, and it will hold up well enough.  Maybe it's because I'm new to the world of skinny ties, but becuase of the shape of the extra slack that hangs behind the "front" of the tie, it doesn't tie up nicely.  The knot doesn't look clean.  But again, it's cheap, and for rock & roll, it doesn't have to be a perfect knot.
