Receiving the tie took longer than I expected. I was just about to complain when the tie arrived. It was a very attractive tie exactly like the photo depicted. It says it is made of silk, but frankly I cannot tell and don't really care. The tie came with a pocket square and a pair of matching cuff links. Im pretty satisfied and surprised this worked out well. You can never tell with FB advertising vendors. I would get more ties, but I have dozens of excellent ones Im not using now.
