Description

Chemical Warfare. Yes, this one is a little dark. The text image is derived from an excerpt in the 1942 book, "War Department's 'Technical Manual, Military Chemistry and Chemical Agents'".

A perfect nostalgic gift for a war veteran, wow a military history buff, or rib that guy in your life who may produce his own toxic, gaseous emanations. heh.

Gift for my husband who works in the industry. Shipped incredibly fast and a beautiful product! My husband wore it to work today and his coworkers noticed it right away and asked him where he found such a unique tie. Will definitely order from Cyberoptix again!

I purchased two dragon print ties from them and they are not as advised on the photo. Four inches of the dragon's head and body disappeared into the knot when the tie is worn. I contacted the seller to see if they can replace the ties with a smaller print and I was denied of this request. They gave me the option to move the print lower, which means the image of the dragon's body would be significantly cut off. The seller charged me a 15 percent restock fee to send these ties back, plus I had to pay shipping cost both ways at my expense. An honest business would have given me a full refund for an item that was designed poorly.

Bethany Shorb responded

The ties were printed exactly as shown in the listing. The design's position when worn depends entirely on which knot is used and how it's tied so the faulty positioning lies with the wearer and not the tie. With the nature of the silkscreen process, you can't shrink the printed image without making an entirely new screen at significant cost. Our restock fee and the non-refundable shipping is very clearly stated on every item listing and in our store policies. Small businesses are not Amazon! Potential buyers are urged to educate themselves on the return/exchange policies or every store they patronize, online or off.

I've ordered from Cyberoptix before and was pleased. This time was no exception! I ordered the dragon tie for my boyfriend in the skinny burgundy color. He's got a Chinese dragon tattooed on his arm so I figured this was a safe bet. It's definitely a bold print (which you can tell from the photos) but having the black ink on a darker tie makes it from being too flashy for a guy who has style, but doesn't usually call tons of attention to himself through accessories. The silk is wonderfully soft, the print is clear, and the skinny tie keeps it from being too literal--more of the dragon is cut off, which I think actually produces a neat effect. As always, the wrap job is really nice! My boyfriend asked if I wrapped it--he was super impressed! (Don't worry, I was honest and gave you all the credit.)
