This is an authentic Thom Browne tie, from Barney's. It is fall 2008. I've had it for a long time but I never wear ties, probably only wore this one once or twice. It pretty much looks new and is very clean. I did notice a few small imperfections like tiny pinholes in the very bottom tip as can be seen in photos. The tie measures 2.25 inches at the widest point.
