    Congratulations, a job well done.

    I like the tie for many of the same reasons Rex stated. I would keep it. Changing a tie will change the look. On business trips, I would carry several ties to tailor the look of my suits to fit the audience or client as needed.

    If I might also add,...don't skimp on your ties. A cheap tie can make an expensive suit look run of the mill, while a well made silk tie in the correct color, will improve the look of an average suit tremendously. I had a small swatch of material from all of my suits that I would take with me when going to purchase ties. This would allow me to quickly see how the ties would work with each of my suits. When I found a tie I liked, I bought two. That way I always had the tie I needed, even if one was in the cleaners.
