I needed a cheap bowtie for a James Bond costume and this fit the bill. The tie looks more expensive than it is, which is nice, and the clip on and tightening function work easily and intuitively, so right out of the box you're pretty much ready to go. For reference, I have a 15.5 inch neck and this fit fine, and the adjusting strap made it clear it'd fit necks much larger and smaller than mine.The main issue is that the point where the bowtie meets the neck strap is very loose, so it's very very easy for the bowtie to 'spin' on your neck. While it can't do a full 360, it'll rotate 45+ degrees at the drop of a hat and suddenly, James Bond is looking less like Daniel Craig entering a Shang Hai dinner club and more like you drank 4 vodka martinis and tried to put on a bowtie. Easy solution though: I used 2 bobby pins on the underside to clandestinely clip it to my shirt collar. No one was the wiser and my bowtie stayed straight all night.So just be aware you get what you pay for, be ready to do a little 'assisting' to keep it straight, and then go stop the satellite from destroying London.
