I have several ties where the smaller section behind the tie is not long enough to go into those cloth slots to hold them in place.  This clip works and looks great.  Only complaint I have, the lever where you depress your thumb to open the clip is small.  I've gotten use to it now and its not really an issue - but if they would have made it flatter and wider it would be easier to put in place.
This tine gripe is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars.  Otherwise it does look great and does the job well
