Necktie Storage?

I seached for a thread related to the topic, but had no luck finding one.

My traditional back-of-the-door tie rack is overflowing with long ties and bow ties. Searching the web turned up a few ideas, but I wanted to throw this out to the forum to find out if there are some inexpensive, innovative wasy to store a bunch neckwear while still allowing it to be accessible.

Any ideas to help me organize the mess and still be easy to select and replace ties as I use them? I need something which can handle about 6 dozen ties and allow room for growth.

Thanks!

I use a drawer and keep them rolled. I don't know if you have a spare drawer but you can certainly fit 72+ ties in many chests-of-drawers.

What about when you go to use one? Doesn't it retain its roll?

I have a tie rack I put on the wall in my closet. This is quite handy, and keeps my ties neat, and easy to access.

Got a couple of hangers similar to this, they just hang flat in the closet amongst my shirts. They were cheap, got 'em from k-mart or walmart I think.

Recently came across this
I'm going to use it to hang/display my western themed vintage ties.

I keep mine in a drawer as well. I have a set of plastic dividers in the drawer so that each tie has its own compartment. The fact they are rolled doesn't seem to be an issue and they flatten right out when I take them out to wear. This has helped with storage space and organization.

I used to envision a wonderful setup in the closet with a number of vintage tie rack wheels (a wooden wheel with protruding studs), but after I hit 150 ties in the collection (now over 200 I imagine), I said forget it.

I have most of my ties arranged by defining color on wooden hangers with a metal rod (to both hold the weight and allow for easy sliding side to side). I keep these hangers on the clothes rod. On the adjacent wall, I have mounted two vintage rotating tie wheels and one rack similar to the one DH posted above (mine's a suit/shirt/tie color-combo dressing pinwheel). I take a tie off the hanger, wear it, and return it to one of the wall-mounted racks to track which ties I already wore in the cycle--although I need about four more racks on the wall to get through the entire collection. It ain't the most ingenious setup, but it works pretty darn well for a practical guy who wears ties often.

Ideally, I'd build a glass curio across the entire living room wall and display them there, but that's on the "in the future" to-do list.

I wouldn't have the patience to unroll and roll my ties every time I wanted to see what they were or after I wore them, and hanging them seems to return them to their natural order after wearing.

I use an old card catalog for all my ties. It works well.

I like that! That's good use of an item that doesn't really have much a use in the age of computers etc

I realize this is an old thread, but could be helpful to revive it. Been searching for similar. Want a compact way to store and display. I'm more a collector than a daily wearer. I think these cubbies will work pretty well, but the dimensions aren't exactly optimal for me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M4KHWT0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AZCEI3EMXUPTH&psc=1
