Groundhog Day, Holiday Tie

I purchased this tie for my husband. He is not particularly good about providing feedback, so you are stuck with a wife's opinion. The tie is a basic tie. I would say the quality is average. I think it will hold up for a while since he will, most likely, only wear it once a year. It is a nice design nicely applied. Hardly anyone celebrates Groundhog Day other than to check out what Punxsutawney Phil does, so, it seemed like a good tie to purchase. I must not have read the description carefully, or looked closely enough at the photos, because I did not notice that it was a solid white tie with the design printed on only one side and I'm not sure I would have made the purchase it if I had realized that. That is why I gave it an overall average 3 star rating.

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.
