Okay guys, this HAWSON owl tie clip is seriously cool - and I'm not just saying that! As someone who wears ties way more than I'd like to, this little owl has become my go-to accessory. The 2.2 inch size is perfect for skinny ties without looking overwhelming. Made from solid brass with this rhodium plating that gives it a proper premium feel - not that cheap plated stuff that tarnishes after two wears. The owl design is detailed enough to be interesting but not too cartoonish for professional settings. The spring is strong enough to actually hold your tie in place all day, but not so tight that it damages your favorite silk tie. I've worn this to weddings, work conferences, even just to fancy dinners and always get compliments. The polishing is 360 degrees so it looks good from every angle. Perfect gift for the academic in your life, groomsmen, or just treating yourself to something that makes getting dressed up a bit more fun. Way better quality than I expected for the price - feels like it'll last forever with just basic care.
