I'm a "fly" at work. I've worn a bow tie for so long that it's become my "trademark" in the office. I was looking for a way to "make things better" and a matching pocket square was the perfect complement. Love it. The material is strong yet soft and easy to work with. Anyway, I'm a fan of self tie bow ties, I feel pre tied ties are "cheating" (LOL). Ordered a few more from the same seller. Very important!
