It doesn't have to be Altea. Do they look nice? Make a nice knot? I was thinking of using it for a wedding this month...

Nope, just a friends wedding. I'm in it at all. I was thinking of pairing it with a RLBL plaid suit, (100% wool) so I'm not sure if the linen/silk would be too casual.

If one person at that wedding asks you - "Hey, is your tie a linen blend? Cause I was thinking, you know, like, Achilles_ is looking a little too casual for this wedding." Ill send you $10.
