I adjusted the adjuster to my 15 1/2 inch neck size and tied it off and then stared for a minute long trying to figure out why he looked so fake. and tied it back together to find that it suddenly looked a lot better. The color was exactly as pictured and the pocket square that came with it seems to be good (although unfortunately I don't have a breast pocket). Bottom line: If your neck is less than 15 1/2 inches I would recommend trying a different brand/tie with a fine adjuster. This one will not work for you.
