Minimum care of your attire will boost their life span. Jacquard woven ties & scarves can be damaged on the surface and rims by sharp abrasive surfaces, similar to car seatbelts, jacket zips & Velcro fastenings. The Tie face must be kept away from ruff entities.

It is most important to untie, scarf & bowtie every time you take it off. Do this quite gently by first lifting the collar of your shirt or blouse, then loosen the tie. Open the knot completely before removing it. You can wrap the tie or ladies’ scarves or bow tie or cummerbunds around your hand and place the bundle to one side (at least for the night). The wrinkle and creases will usually be gone by the next morning. If not, a bit of hot steam from the iron will do.

In case you actually need to iron your neckwear or the cummerbund, put a clean cotton or linen cloth between iron and the item, on cool setting. Never completely flatten your item with the iron; it is supposed to keep its tubular texture and shape.

Cummerbunds are over garments, as such they are to be warn loosely over the trousers and not to be warn as belts.

Neckwear & Cummerbunds need to be protected against the sun, dust, humidity and, if applicable moths.

It is better to protect the item from staining then trying to clean it. During meal times tuck your ties or scarf in your shirts/ blouse, or the jacket, or place over one shoulder, ladies take off your scarves please; even cover with a cloth/ tissue. The neckwear should always be cleaned by professional dry cleaners who know how to care for men’s attire.
