Q: How can I keep my ties looking

© good?

A tie is an essential accessory to

a mans wardrobe. And with
quality ties costing $25 and more, get-
ting a long life from your tie is very im-
portant. Most ties are cut on the bias
of the fabric, or against the grain. This
makes thern susceptible to distortion
from puiling and stretching. To prevent
distortion, knot the tie gently and always
remove the knot when you take off the
tie Store your ties hanging straight.
If you spill something on a tie, blot it
gently, Never rub a stain as this may
cause chafing of the fibres.especially in
silk ties. Don't allow your tie to become
heavily soiled before cleaning.
