School Ties

We have some more school ties in stock which cost $15 each. Please do not machine wash.  Ties are made on a bias so will not tolerate machine washing.  If washed this way, guarantee will be void. The fabric is a very close weave so a gentle sponge with a clean wet cloth is usually all that is needed. For more difficult stains, a mild cleaning agent on a wet cloth with remove most marks.  Dry in a warm position (never tumble dry)
