I bought this for Mark Twain Days. Lots of people dress in 1860 attire for the event. I look like I just arrived out west during the Comstock Era.

This tie definitely upgraded my costume. Much classier that the string tie. Fits in well with the formal 1890's mortician outfit.

I am very pleased with my purchase and the timeliness of my delivery

Had thoughts of making my own for my husband's costume but ended up purchasing this puff tie. So happy, it was absolutely perfect!

I ordered this and several other items for my daughter's upcoming wedding. The entire package arrived several days earlier than expected, and I was skeptical of the purchase, but once receiving all the items I realized the material quality was high the fit was perfect and the price was great. I could not have bought a suit for the same price. I am amazed at the outstanding customer service from historical Emporium. I even had to change my pants size day after I ordered and it was corrected and I received the proper fit.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas, I can't wait to see him in it. I know he will love it.!

Really nice

It came on time. It was exactly as pictured. The tie fit perfectly and was easily adjustable. It looks great on my costume.

Looks great, many compliments!

The tie is well made and compliments the brocade vest. I appreciate the products offered by Historical Emporium.

All their puff ties are fabulous. So far, every one I have bought has come with the tie pin. Well made enough to dress any outfit, inexpensive enough to have a rainbow of selections. There is a little tab of fabric under the 'fall' of the tie, where you see the tie pin. It helps you stick the pin in and hold the ends up as puffy as you would like to make it. Excellent value for the price!

Very well made and stylish Victorian tie. I used it for a publicity shot for my book "Sherlock Holmes and the Autumn of Terror."

Very, very pleased with this tie! It arrived quickly (faster than expected). Material is solid, and clasp is similar to bow-ties you get with tuxedo rentals, so it's easy to adjust. Works perfectly with a banded collar shirt and is a great touch with a Scully vest (see related review). This is great for costumes and a perfect addition for an authentic looking Old West outfit.

I always order my husbands outfits and accessories thru Historical Emporium. The quality and service is always great!

Charles Dickens Christmas Fair 2023

Seems expensive for what it is but still Nice

I bought this for my husband for Christmas, I'm sure he will absolutely love it. I can't wait to see him in it!

First time I've used a puff tie. I interpret a 19th century undertaker in Ohio. Decided to class him up a bit as a successful professional. With my top hat, frock coat, and double breasted vest and walking cane, the puff tie made the image I was looking for. Easy to use..recommend it.

This tie is very beautifully made. I am wearing this for my wedding.

Love it!

Lovely colour, good quality. Very pleased

This is a great looking rich red and black combination. Nice for dressy or Holiday events.

This cravat is absolutely stunning! Nice texture, and the red really adds a pop. Worked well with my rounded collar shirt, and the hook on the back hasn't failed me as of yet. Overall a wonderful product!

This is my first puff tie I have purchased from G.E. and I am very pleased with it! The red is quite vivid, and really pops. Easy to adjust to fit, easy to wear. The only issue I have is not with the tie, it's with the many reviews I've read that claim the metal clasp is not authentic! I did some research and found the identical clasp in many, many period photos! So buy with confidence, and trust the good people at G.E. to have done our research for us.

I am pleased with the tie.

The color is great!

This is going to add a touch of elegance to my Steampunk wardrobe.

It was great, I wrote it to a father daughter dance and it was fun.

You bet! This was the first tie of this sort I have purchased and I was a little wary at first. But I had been super thrilled with all my other purchases from Historical Emporium so I took a chance with it and was pleasantly surprised. It's a simple little tie, but it's a great way to get jazzed up for any special occasion. It seemed to be well made and the hook and eye on the back secure it well when wearing it. I would definitely recommend this puff tie to anyone looking to recreate a victorian era look and I've already compiled a list of other ties I am looking in to.

Just to wear

Great tie very fast shipping

I bought this one to replace one I think I lost. Like the missing one, it is perfect for my Civil War ear portrayal of a political figure of the time.

Awesome tie! It provides just enough style to accent your wardrobe without being all uppity. As a circuit rider, I wear the plain black canvas vest, trousers, and coat. It is the perfect accent when I'm not wearing a clerical collar. The fabrics all have that natural, rustic appearance that adds authenticity to the look. Absolutely love it as with everything I buy from HE!!

This is a very simple tie... but it's quite nice, and it came with a nice tie-tac.

This Tie as well with my Black Hills Vest Taupe and Sinclair Edwardian Club Collar Shirt - White was a hit in South Dakota two weeks ago. My wife and I won the western dress up contest on the 1880 Train Ride in South Dakota. The cloths were defiantly talked about on how nice and well they fit that era.

This tie looks great with anything! My husband and I were really impressed with how nice it looks! Thanks!

The product is of high quality and was delivered promptly.

Looks much better in person!

I ordered the tie with the red canvas vest...It was an unexpected "plus" for my grandson, and he couldn't wait to try it on. The tie and vest look great together.

The tie arrived earlier than expected and looks great. My first order and certainly not my last!

I'm very happy with my tie, perfect!

Ended up looking more stupid than rich.

I bought this for my husband as we are performing for a period event. He loves it. It also matches the fabric of the vest that I also bought him. The rhinestone tie tack is a nice finishing touch.

Very nice tie and very authentic

Good material feels like good quality. Fits well to size ordered. (Small)

Received my black puff tie in the mail very quickly. The tie is very elegant. I enjoy wearing it to church. I get many complements. Back in the day, this would be essential for a gentleman to wear.

not at all impressed - seemed very sub standard material - unfitting to go with the higher quality vest - I would have been very disappoint had t cost half as much - as is - feel poorly used.

Love this tie. I have a large neck and it fits with room to spare. Perfect accessory with any vest.

Purchased this tie along with a shirt and red Duncan vest. Very nice tie. complimented my outfit well. would definitely purchase another

This tie adds to the wing tip shirt perfectly. It comes with the little stud. It stayed in place, and was adjustable.

Amending earlier comment... Although the tie was really nice, I did not realize a diamond tie tack came with it, so I ordered a pearl tie tack to go with the tie. Either I missed something or it needs to be pointed out that the tie comes with a tie tack.

It was a really nice tie. One problem was that it was hard to keep the adjustment clip from sliding and altering the size. I had to add a small safety pin for it to stay in place.

Looks great, sewn tied, adjustable fastener becomes loose during use

The Material is exactly what I expected. The Lengh of the Puff tie is perfect too! The only reason for 4 stars is because the Puff tie itself is a PAIN to get on! So whatever you do PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE with the adjustment parts so you can get that perfect fit every time. Make sure you also purchase a shirt that has a tab in the back to slip the buckle into, or else it will eventually ride up your neck and will become loose and you'll look ridiculous. But if you are looking for a sharp black puff tie, purchase this one and you will not be dissapointed! :)

I had hoped the material would have been a little less stiff and the stick pin was hideous.

I bought this to accompany my black dress shirt for a US Marshal cosplay, and it is now one of my favourite ties. I will not only wear this for my cosplay, but for any other formal occasions.

The Red Putnam puff tie has Historical Emporium's usual good quality. I am a musician in a group that performs historical music and authentic clothing from the 19th century is an important part of our presentation. This tie is a nice addition.

Great product!

Very well made. Looks great.

Shopped online for puff tie. This tie is the finest quality as well as best competitive price. 100% pleased. Wore with western tux and compliments were excellent. Will be returning for other product needs!

Very dapper

Even more brilliant in person than on the website! Must have for any gentleman!

A very nice piece. It has ample adjustment and fixtures to ensure a comfortable fit is assured.

It is what I ordered and expected. Delivered promptly in time for a movie shoot I was doing. Thanks.

Absolutely gorgeous fabric and very easy to wear. Love the look, it's really going to complete my costume! Thank you!

The tie arrived within two and a half days of placing the order as it was shipped USPS Priority Mail. However, when it arrived I discovered the strap was way too long. The catalog states the tie will fit neck sizes 14 to 20 inches. I wear a 151/2 neck size and the strap, even drawn up the the max, was still too long to fit properly. The problem was solved using a pair of scissors and a sewing machine. The tie now fits perfectly and looks great. It adds a great deal to the 1800's look I am trying to achieve.

Was very pleased with the quality and appearance of this tie. Thanks again for a very nice product.

Nice

I am an actor and will wear this for a performance of a guy from the 19th century. The tie looks so great I'm going to wear it off stage also. I hope to bring it back in style.

photo coming soon

Just right in sight and fit and completes the costume perfectly! Speedy delivery as well.

everything I get from you is just awesome!

I love this puff tie! Looks even better in reality! Nice pattern in a warm cream tone, easy to put on and comes ready with a tie tack. Underlines a sophisticated look. Even the people at a gourmet restaurant who should be used to dressy looks seemed to be astonished - just wonderful!

Easy to put on. Nice design. Great Fabric. High quality at a low low price!

Great product. Great Quality.

Excellent quality. Matches the vest I have.

Loved the puff tie. Very nice quality. This is the third one we've purchased for my husband, and they've all totally lived up to our expectations. Great for our living history tour costumes!

Very nice puff tie. Good quality, well made.

Daily public wear.

It’s just what I wanted

I needed a tie to wear for a charles dickens Christmas party and it worked perfectly.

Good for 1800s cosplay and such.

I'm wearing it to a formal 20's Gatsby style outdoor wedding, in a week. I will submit photos.

Wore this to a wedding this weekend. It was the perfect crowning touch to my Cowboy cut tux and western vest. Looks as good as the pictures here and it arrived early. I have never been disappointed in anything I have ordered from this business. The wedding photographer kept taking photos and said we were the best dressed couple. I got a ton of compliments and was amused at how many folks wanted a picture with me. Did I mention I love the tie?

Delivered faster than expected. A very nice tie!

Looks great, love the color, received 2 days after placing order.

I don’t put reviews on anything never really care enough to I guess. But I bought this tie for my wedding and it is beautiful and soft and the material is very nice the adjustable neck strap is wonderful especially cause I have a rather larger build. Over all worth the money for sure

fab tie

I love everything about it. I have always wanted one and was lucky to have found the Historical Emporium.

I bought this for my husband, and he really likes it. It's just what he wanted.

Soooo pretty and included the diamond stud. Colour really shows the pattern and looks and feels very luxurious.

Great tie looks awesome

Nothing fancy, meaning - not a lot of material, but the material that was used is quality and the sewing is well done. Only minor notch in the near perfect score is the latch system to clasp the tie together around the neck. It's hard to explain, but it turns sideways when latching, so it bunches up the tie strap. VERY minimal issue.... almost not work noting, except made it 1/2 a second more challenging to un-clasp when taking it off for the evening. THANKS!

It is solidly made and easy to adjust and put on. The pattern is classic and it is man-made fabric for those who do not want to support boiling silk worms to death due to objection to unnecessary killing of animals.

Well made, and fits well. The color is a bit darker than shown. Adds some panache without becoming too flamboyant.

Very nice tie. The color is a true emerald green and it matches the vest perfectly.

Excellent product for Marti Gras Bal!

This puff tie, which matches superbly with its counterpart vest just screams old world style.. love it!

Good quality.

I have purchased several different puff ties for my husband's Edwardian wardrobe. All of them have been excellent! I really love the color of this one, and it matches perfectly with one of my Edwardian outfits. Extra bonus!

I really like these puff ties. Beautiful pattern, very classy. The only fault I have is that they clip on. Wish there was a way to disguise the cheesy clip to maintain athenticity. If I don't have a jacket on, the clip is clearly seen on the unfolded collar. Other than that it's a very nice tie.

It's very nice. It matches my Winter outfit.

Very sharp looking... and with the red Putnam vest, together they made Christmas especially festive.

Hi, This is the perfect tie for your St. Patrick's Day steam punk or Victorian outfit. Also, I noticed that the brocade pattern matches the pattern on the Farnsworth vest that I purchased. A perfect go-together.

So perfect. Beautiful quality.

Just completely set my Tux off! Much nicer than the everyday, ordinary Bow Tie.

TY!! Very fast shipping and exactly what I needed !! Absolutely a beautiful Tie ! TY again !

Silver peak puff tie is perfect for my navy blue frock coat.

These are great for any occasion, in any colour, and stand you out from the regular tie crowd.

satin puff tie-silver is great

this tie look so much better in the box than on the computer. sweet.

This was my first purchase from the Hisorical Emporium and I have to say I'm impressed. I had been looking for something different for awhile but could never find anything that caught my eye untill I found this website. I looked through what they had and was shocked to find vintage styl clothes for a good price and I purchased a red Twin city vest and this silver puff tie. I wore this to church and other events and immediately recieved complements from my friends who kept asking me where I got it but all that aside this is a very good product I love the adjustable neck band verses a clip on and the quality is outstanding for the price and I will be getting another soon.

I bought this tie to wear day to day. It is a stunning color and easy to wear. The only issue I had was that the tie tack looks a little cheap, other than that, I highly recommend this tie.
