Silk Bow Tie

I bought this as an emergency replacement for a black tie event, but this tie is not worth buying. I bought it online and picked it up in store. I was dubious when it was already tied and looked like it had been tied for weeks, if not longer. First, the dimensions are off. I wear a 16 collar shirt, but adjusted the tie to the smallest size (14 1/2) and it was still a touch long. It also started to fray the first time I tied it and the material started to breakdown with each additional tie. It barely made it through the night. So, think about this as a one use tie which sort of makes it useless.
