eel neck tie
There are various theories about the origin of the custom of eating eel (according to Gennai HIRAGA), and the best known theory is that it was invented by Gennai HIRAGA (1728 - 1780) from Sanuki Province. According to the report, an eel restaurant that was not successful in business went to Gennai to ask him to sell eel that could not be sold in summer. Gennai wrote that "Today is the day of the ox" and advised to stick it to the store front. The eel restaurant became very prosperous. After that, other eel restaurants began to imitate this custom, and it is said that the custom of eating eel became established on the day of the ox in the Doyo. There are various theories as to why the pasted paper on which the letter 'Ushi no hi' was written was effective, but one theory says that 'If you eat something with the letter 'u' on the Ox day, you will not lose in summer.' wikipedia Citation

I bought this tie for a cosplay of Haruhi Fujioka for Halloween and anime conventions. It feels very nice and silky. It's my first tie ever, and I'm a pretty big fan since I always wanted a tie. It was longer than I expected it to be (quite a plus), but the purple stripe was also thinner than I expected it to be (a slight bit of a downer, but I don't mind too much). I had never used Zazzle before, but I am very impressed with the shipping time. I was looking for places to get a tie like this so last minute since the ties like this on Amazon were incompatible with Prime. Thus, I ended up here. I paid for express shipping, expected delivery October 30-31, and it arrived in the morning on the 30th. Very impressed. I might just use Zazzle again. The print job was okay. The colors were perfect, but as you can see in the pictures, the stripe was a little off-center, and there was a kink in the stripe around where it transitions from the wide end to the thin end. It should work perfectly for my cosplay, but it was a little too carelessly print to be a very professional tie.

The Pageant Tie is just what I wanted and everyone at church wants one. I have worn it several days now and each day more people come to me to see it and say how great it is. The printing is just as it should be. Each photo is clear and the color is great.

It is a well made tie. My only issue is that it's a little shorter than I usually get, but it's still long enough. The design and colors of the hibiscus flowers was amazing. The right combination of pop and fading into the background. The colors stand out, but aren't overpowering.
