FAQ–frequently asked questions

What materials are used?  We use only high quality cotton fabrics. Typically the fabrics are upholstery weight rather than the weight associated with dress material and as a result the ties are hard wearing and machine-washable.

What is the style of the ties? The ties are made with stripy and plain materials. They are narrowish, tapering slightly to a maximum width of 1.5 inches (3.8cm) and squared off at the ends. The materials used are (138cm) in length and the ties have a hint of the retro 1960s about them.

What about looking after my tie? Dry-clean the tie if you wish but the ties are machine washable. Don't go to a temperature higher than 40 centigrade. Steam iron the ties. For the best results use spray on starch when you press your tie.

How can I spread the word about stripyties? Consult the telephone number and web address on the sewn in tab on your tie.
