If this tie were a self-tie bow tie, I would have given it five stars.  Unfortunately, it is a pre-tied clip-on.  The quality of the tie seems good, so if you don't mind wearing a clip-on tie, then this might be the perfect bow tie to make your patriotic statement.  However, if you like real bow ties, then this one will disappoint.

I wish the product description for this tie had mentioned that it wasn't a self-tie bow tie.  Perhaps it does, but not clearly enough.  At least I couldn't find it.
