The tie is good quality, looks great, is a nice design and a good width (skinny, but not too skinny).
The disappointing thing was that the spotty pattern is not the length of the tie. I am only 5'9", but when I tied the tie, the knot had no spots on it. in order to get the pattern on the knot, i had to tie it so that the tie length was too short (too far away from my waistband). It is obviously a cost-saving measure, but they have been too extreme, and means that i will now rarely wear this tie in future, which is a shame, as it is great other than that.
