Pattern Design: Stripe Made of silk I rotated through about 20 ties, so I wore this one every 2 weeks for about 1-2 years. There is a faint stain in the middle of the tie, as shown in the 4th photo, but it's light, and I think it can be used without issue if you adjust where you tie it. Purchased at United Arrows, original price was 6,000-7,000 yen. This is not new, so please consider purchasing if you are willing to accept some degree of wear and tear.
