As one of the other reviewers observed, this tie is much like the one(s) Winston Churchill frequently wore. It's a very stately and beautiful tie; conservative but not boring. If you're attending an event that's listed as "Black Tie" - that used to automatically mean "Tuxedo" - but it doesn't anymore. That definition probably changed once and for all by the mid-1990's. A dark suit, white shirt and this tie will fit the bill nicely for any "Black Tie" event. If you want a more traditional, conservative look with a suit, sweater, or just a dress-shirt, this tie will work exceptionally well, giving your wardrobe a boost. It shipped quickly and arrived in perfect shape. The price was certainly right as well.
