Overall good shape with light wear. Some fraying on the end near the buttonhole. This tie was worn with the white shirt, the reserve blue shirt and the seersucker working uniform. It was worn under the shirt collar with the knot placed at the collar opening and the tie ends tucked under the collar tips.
