Often times it's nice to get compliments about one's apparel, but even better when the positive remarks refer to the whole ensemble.
That said, the frequency and target of compliments have little if any, to do with the "quality." This applies to suits, jackets, pants, tie, shoes; essentially any article of clothing a man wears. The wearer feels the quality, those around him sees only the fit.
Specifically with ties, one cannot tell the intrinsic quality of a tie just by looking at it. Thus it's either the printed pattern or the woven geometrical picture that attract comments.
I like a compliment as much as the next person, but that does not figure into my choice of ties. I refer back to my original assertion that the presence of a small label/tag with a "designer" name is what motivates and thus justifies, to the buyer, the purchase of an expensive tie. And this is especially true on SF, although about 95% true also for AAAC.
