Please ask any questions before you purchase as all sales are final. Very cool All silk tie!! The color is a deep black with light blue Chessie the cats and a background pattern of black Chessies (almost like a hologram). It's a narrow tie at 2 1/4 inches at the widest and 52 or 53 inches long (It stretches a bit). This is considered a short tie for those of us 5' 8" or shorter. Please double check me if you plan to actually wear this as I'm not a fashion or tie/clothing expert.  It's 52-53 inches in length and is considered a "short tie" and made for men that are 5'8" and under. Hard to find piece of pre CSX history railroad. C&O Chessie System tie with Chessie the Cat on it. It's new, never worn and will need to be pressed or dry cleaned. There's a way to press them with an iron and a piece of cloth, like a pillow case to take out the wrinkle/folds from sitting in a box for over 40 years. It was boxed but the box was in bad shape, so it will be shipped folded up without a tie box. The shipping is free. No Tags. Shipped via economy shipping. Thank You!!
