It's a pretty skinny tie. I'm not a man, but I bought it for a man, and I thought this tie would be at least 2.5 inches in width. I bought this tie with the intention for him to use a tie bar/tie clip with it, but the clip is longer than the tie. Although it wasn't up to exactly what I was expecting, the tie is still nice. At this price, it's a steal! Only complaint was the box the tie came in was completely smashed up like someone stepped on it, so maybe packing could be improved.
