Solace Tie by Magnoli Clothiers - Do not order!

All, received mine this morning and am very very disappointed, the silk is fine but the filler/padding is way too light giving the tie the weight and feeling of cardboard I would recommend that no one buys this tie until Magnoli sorts this out and that he re-issues with a quality lining. In my opinion he should have checked the lining of the tie pre-production. Neckties should be lined with 100% wool, you will run across ties that have a lining made of a wool mixture, but remember the higher the wool content the finer the tie and I wouldn’t expect this sort of poor quality in a $60 tie, I can get a better tie for a similar pattern in TM Lewin for 30% of the cost. A decent wool lining shouldn’t be a problem for him; there are lots of sheep in New Zealand.

I would mention this to Indy, sounds like a reasonable bloke who is eager to improve on his products e.g. the Montenegro tie was the wrong dimensions and was revised after some noise from this forum!
Coincidentally I was about to order the Montenegro tie but now worried, how did you find this tie?
Jury is still out on the Solace tie... I would like to hear from other members who have bought this tie?!

Sure somebody will chip in on the Solace tie, think few owners here
If you do order Magnoli's Montenegro tie, make sure you get the modern straight-sided one. The vintage contoured-sided one is 50% off, but apparently has very weird dimensions and ties smaller, less attractive knots.
IMO, the Montenegro tie (with correct dimensions) is absolutely gorgeous & worth every penny. It's my favourite tie in my collection!
So would you recommend it?

Could you post some pics please? I'd love to see how it looks in person.
Bear with me until the weekend but will do

Props to Magnoli for making a blue, SILK version of the tie.
I would love to see pictures, because the tie actually looks like his best work from the swatch on the website.
