This is a fantastic tie for a wedding reception. It perfectly complements the bridesmaids' light blue dresses. The tie is a solid color but has a lovely texture that gives it a richer look than a plain satin finish. I've also ordered a few patterned ties from Cravate Gentleman and I love the quality of their products.

Since the price was very reasonable, I didn't have high expectations! I was pleasantly surprised by these! I've been wearing ties for over 25 years. I work in the restaurant industry, and they're part of our uniform. These ties are very durable! The kind that can withstand several washes before falling apart! I wash mine with a little Woolite on the delicate cycle, line-dry them, and then use an iron to reshape them! You can dry clean them, but I wash mine because they get dirtier than those worn in an office. As others have mentioned, they do get a little creased, but all you need to do is cover them with a tea towel and steam them on a medium setting, and they'll look perfect! I'll definitely be buying them in other color groups!
