Care
Cleaning
Silk and blended silk neckwear should not be washed immersed in water as doing so can ruin the texture and color of the silk. Instead, spot clean your neckwear using the following steps.
Gently blot any excess stain with a soft, dry cloth. Do not rub as this can damage the fabric.
Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild detergent specifically designed for silk.
Dip a corner of a clean, white cloth into the solution and test it on a hidden area of the tie to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration.
If the test is successful, lightly dab the stained area with the dampened cloth. Use a gentle tapping motion and do not saturate the silk.
Moisten another clean cloth with plain lukewarm water and gently dab the area to remove any soap residue.
Pat the cleaned area with a dry cloth to absorb moisture, then leave the tie laid flat on a towel to air dry completely.
If the stain does not respond to the these steps, take the neckwear to a professional dry cleaner experienced in handling delicate garments.
Storage
To prevent heavy creasing, never store your neckwear tied or knotted.
Undo the knot and then roll the necktie up in a firm but not excessively tight coil.
Allow it to sit in the coil for about a day to relax wrinkles.
To prevent wrinkles, store your silk neckwear hanging, flat, or in a very loose roll.
