Unfortunately this tie was a bit of a disappointment. The overall look is very good, but they failed in the details. If you look closely in the pictures, you can see the line pattern does not completely run down the length of the tie. The left line start at the top and runs off the edge halfway. On the far right the line runs from the bottom to about 3/4ths of the way to the top. I had the same issue with another vertical striped tie. So I would recommend staying away from any strip ties. They makers don't seem to be paying attention to this kind of details. They ask for a good review but they must learn that good reviews are earned from quality work, not given because they are asked for.
