Sadly, it won't do for a black tie event at all, simply because it isn't a black bow tie. And even if the invitation said "Black Tie-Decorations", it still wouldn't do because the cravat worn about the neck is worn under the neck tie, not in place of it.

I'm sure the inventor of this thinks he's on to a great thing, and is relying on the adage that "no one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the buying public" to pay off in spades. And if there are enough gum-chewing, mouth breathing guys out there with pudding bowl haircuts, he might just be right.
