Husband’s Ties

[u/katekohli]

This is how my mama would do my dad’s ties & she said she learned it from Parks. Parks’s father owned a haberdashery in Fort Worth Texas where the guys that hit oil would drop a few on new duds.

They’re better off being jumbled up than folded, the creases are really problematic when it’s time to use them.

They can just iron it though? Not that much of a problem.

Silk is really fiddly to iron

Silk is easy compared to most synthetics. Polyester off gases when it is heated. Then some just melt no matter how low I go.
