That Wembley is superb. I like to see ties that reminds me that I'm being silly when i say that I don't really like American ties.

^^Excellent!

But we all know they crush and wrinkle easily.

I think I have that exact same tie. Same colourway and everything.

 

[Feraud]

I may have that same one too.

 

[jamespowers]

I may have that same one too.

There must have been a ton made then because I have nearly the same thing too. lol lol I hardly ever wear it though. Then again, a man with 1,000 ties hardly wears any tie more than once a year or so.

Okay, all got my girly tie in today. It's silk and it's white and it's dirty as all hell.

Anyone with advice please help! There's just a general layer of grime I'd like to remove first before I get on to spot treating.

Widebrim will handle the cleaning questions. I just take mine in and have them done. That reminds me. I have seven to pick up this evening.

I use a 99cents store variety of cleaner called Wool 'n Care (or any variation thereof...). One capful to two gallons of cool water will do it; soak tie for 15 minutes if it's really dirty, take out and rinse, and repeat if needed. When satisfied, gently wring out excess water, and hand tie up on the back of a towel. That usually does the trick, but extra careful with silk, and I don't recommend that you clean a tie yourself if it is hand-painted (I sometimes do, but it depends on the condition of the paint, coralite, etc.).
