Definitely not your normal "silk" look, more of a matte with a slight pattern to it. It's 8.5 cm (a little over 3.25", not 'skinny' (which I don't wear), but also doesn't look wide either) and definitely one of my favorite ties.
Another (admittedly silk) option which is not like a normal silk/satin tie is the grenafaux.

It is not shiny like most silk ties, and it has some texture. It can also be worn year-round, unlike cotton, linen, and wool. I love the one I have, it goes with everything. I would suggest The Knottery's true grenadine, but it is sold out.
nicholascrawford, I don't remember that. Are you sure it was me? Admittedly, I've gone through ~6 ties from thetiebar.com, but I thought my memory was better.
Edit: I looked up my order history. I like the Grenfaux -- I did not like the knitted version which a little cheap looking.
Publicname, check out this solid tie from thetiebar.com. It's textured so that it does not look as shiny as a regular silk tie. You might also like this <a>wool and silk herringbone</a> tie. I have the burgundy version.
Knottery grenadine in navy blue should be back this month or next (at least that was what they said a month ago). I got the brown, and love it, and will get the blue as soon as it shows up. It's more expensive than tie bar (which I like as well), but it's a badass tie. "Put This On" guy reviewed it and liked it (he prefers a different lining, though).
