Sorry it took so long to post these. Things have been busy here lately and I wanted to take the time to actually tie them up for the pictures. I don't know my gifters Reddit name. He put his real name on the note so I left that out. The first tie I received was the patterned black and grey one. I had mentioned that I am a tall guy and have trouble finding long ties around me. I also have always wanted to try a nicer knot then the basic windsor but never have a long enough tie for that. This first tie was an extra long one so it fits me very well. It was a little too thick to do any special knots but the length is great and it came with a note saying, "There's another one coming so hopefully this can hold you over until then. I hope you like the tie:)" I definitely do. A few days later I received the blue one in the mail. It is also an extra long one and not as thick. I didn't have anything that color yet either. I tied it up for the picture and I was able to actually tie my first trinity knot. It's great. If that wasn't enough, another third tie came in the mail a few days later. Not sure what the thought was on that one because it is actually more like the size of a childs tie. It is very nice looking though and I look forward to teaching my sons how to tie their first ties with it. Thank you very much!
