Single White Stripe on Black Tie

This tie was absolutely gorgeous, it was everything I had hoped. The material was of high quality, and the design was stunning and unique! My boyfriend has wanted a tie just like this for quite a while, and he was so happy to have it for Christmas. The design and printing of this tie was superb. It's an elegant, modern, fashion forward design that nobody else will have, and everyone will wonder where it was purchased!

Ever since watching The Big-O on Adult Swim years back, I've been obsessed with finding a black tie with a white stripe down the center like the main character Roger Smith wore. Finally, I have found one. Got this as an anniversary present and it's a great design. The stripe is a little thinner than in the show, but they may not have been modeling it directly after the show. Overall I really like it! It has this neat effect where the stripe over the knot is horizontal, and the stripe on the main body of the tie is vertical. Very eye catching. The only reason that I don't give the product a perfect 5 is that the printing is slightly off on the tail end (thine end) of the tie. The white stripe is not continuous, but rather is broken at one point. The second part of the white stripe is off b about a quarter of an inch, which makes the white stripe on the tail end of the tie off center. However, this is on the tail end, which is normally behind the main body of the tie when it's being worn and isn't visible. It's just a small defect that makes an otherwise perfect tie made with nice material slightly less than perfect.

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.
