Light Ties
When it comes to projecting masculinity, elegance, and success, the polyester tie takes a distant back seat to a finely-crafted, 100% silk Italian tie. Taking a look at any prominent politician or Wall Street executive reveals this to be true. These ties leave a powerful impression, which helps to explain their considerable price tags. A low-end designer tie may cost a mere $30 while more luxurious ties may average $70 or more. These ties are often reserved for special occasions due to their low resistance to stains and wrinkles. If the owner wants a silk tie to have a lifespan of greater than one evening, special care should be taken.
Caring for Silk Ties
Many silk ties are manufactured with a fabric protector already applied. However, to reduce the risk that a fabric protector has not been applied properly, the owner should immediately apply a spray-on fabric protector upon bringing the tie home. When a stain does occur, it is important to resist the urge to apply water to the stain, to throw the tie into the laundry, or to have the tie dry cleaned. Each of these cleaning methods will result in damage to the tie. Applying a laundry stain remover is the correct technique for removing a stain on silk. Some stain removers specialize in removing protein-based stains (e.g. dairy, eggs, and baby food), while others are all-purpose stain removers appropriate for everyday dirt and bodily grime. Regardless of the type of stain remover used, a risk always exists for color fading when applying a stain remover. If this occurs, it's probably time to throw out the tie. Wrinkles are the other enemy of the silk tie. Hanging ties is a sure way to create a permanent wrinkle in the tie. Therefore, rather than hanging a tie, it is best to roll it up and store it in a drawer. It is possible to iron a tie using light heat and a pressing sheet, or by steaming it with a hand steamer. However, the owner should be cognizant that wrinkles often cannot be removed and thus result in the demise of the tie.
Avoiding Dangerous Situations
Because many ties will not survive stains and wrinkles, the owner should ultimately view a tie made of silk as a disposable item of clothing. It is possible, however, to defend a silk tie in overtly risky situations. Babies, spaghetti, and condiment packages are unambiguous enemies of silk. If it's possible to avoid introducing a silk tie to the environment of one of these silk villains, acting immediately to separate the two is both worthwhile and wise.
