I can testify that the Tie Bar makes good quality stuff as I own a couple ties from them.The silk knit tie is the classic version - you can wear them even with suits. I've never seen a cotton knit; wool, cashmere and various blends thereof, but never cotton.
A $15 price tag though? Not sure how good the quality will be for that money. The cheaper ones tend to have a weave that doesn't hold up to regular wear. My TM Lewin silk knits (Made in China) are a perfect example - they have developed pulls and have frayed more at the end. My more expensive knit ties - generally Zegna - have held up better.
Honestly I was confused when I saw the CT version in cotton. Then I checked TB and was shocked it was only 15 bucks. I plan on wearing it with a tan suit and blue gingham check shirt.The silk knit tie is the classic version - you can wear them even with suits.
