Elegant Bronze Art Deco Sea Shell Swirls Tie

This is one of my own tie designs and I bought it to have a look at one of Zazzle's ties as a sample. I could not have been more pleasantly surprised. The tie is very light weight - not one of those stiff heavy old fashioned polyester ties (which is what I was fearing) It has a soft modern silk like sheen - a very sophisticated finish. My brother - more of an expert on these things than I am - said that it is very beautifully put together. It is a bit on the lighter weight side than most ties, and overall gives an impression of quality that I was not expecting. The printing is top quality. It does not look "printed on" - but rather as though this pattern was really part of the original weave of the fabric. Since we can only see part of the tie in the marketplace display, I was pleased and releaved to see that the print extends from top to bottom of the tie. Very impressed. Not sure how Zazzle pulls this off, but this is a wonderful - and high class - way to produce custom ties.

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.
