Virgin Mary Our Lady of Grace Necktie

I love this tie. I take my Catholic faith very seriously (though I am not perfect, but that is what confession is for). As part of being Catholic, I have a deep devotion to Our Lady the Blessed Mother Mary , as she is Jesus' mother (and no, Catholics do not worship Mary). I can wear this tie to special events, like Knights of Columbus gatherings, church gatherings, etc. I find this to be a beautiful way to show love and honor to the Greatest Woman Who Ever Lived. As for the print itself, the image was not perfectly straight like as displayed in the image used on the website. But I am OK with this because many times my life is not perfectly straight either. This serves as a reminder to me that because my life is not always in line, that is all the more reason why I need Jesus in my life. And Mary helps guide me and intercedes for me daily in my life. That is why I love her. And this beautiful tie helps honor her, because she said "yes" to God in bearing Jesus. Like I said, the image itself was a bit and slightly slanted, but I am OK with that. It serves as a reminder that my life is not perfectly in line either, which is why I need Jesus and Mary in my life.

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.
