Rubies Boys Party Supplies - Costumes, Decorations & Accessories for Kids Birthday, Halloween & Themed Parties

I bought this tie for my child's costume. All Gryffindor products seem to have complaints about the authenticity of the colors. The tie strikes me as a shiny burgundy, but I can understand people seeing purple. I resolved the issue by waiting until we received the tie, then bought robe fabric to match. It's a quality adult tie (not a clip-on), but as long as your child's robe is closed, no one will notice the length. It doesn't have the Gryffindor crest on it, which is good, because no one has ever seen the crest on ties shown in the movies or described in the books. An added bonus is that you can borrow your child's tie to wear and have it look special to people who recognize it and normal to everyone else because there isn't a huge crest dangling on the end.
