I got this for my son who likes to keep up with current trends. The tie is basic, the material is an okay weight. This would be good for either  wedding or for everyday office wear.  The part that was kind of "off" was the packaging. It comes in a gift box that looks like it was sun faded. I don't think it actually sat in somebody's window somewhere, but I think if I had seen the packaging in the store, I would have passed this item by.
