Cloth of Tie

1. Fabric Classification

Ties can generally be divided into yarn-dyed silk ties, printed silk ties, yarn-dyed fiber ties and printed fiber ties. With the advent of new products, there are also some wool and silk tie, or 50% silk and 50% polyester tie, but these kinds are less than conventional fabric tie. The so-called South Korean silk is polyester yarn. This is just the name called by some domestic merchants. In the foreign trade export, the South Korean silk is 100% polyester. Custom 100% silk tie is expensive but exquisite.

2. Lining Classification

The lining of the tie can be divided into 4 categories according to the composition, polyester lining, pomelo silk lining, wool lining, polyester blend added wool or pomelo silk. Originally, the tie should be all lining with polyester thread, which is durable and suitable for the characteristics of the tie. The pomelo lining and wool lining are basically used for exporting to the United States. Due to the quota system at the time, the ties exported to the United States must be lined with natural raw materials such as pomelo lining and wool. After the quota was abolished, American customers still use pomelo lining and wool lining. The hand feel is soft, this is the characteristics of pomelo lining, wool lining tie, but for domestic consumers, in fact, polyester lining tie is more suitable. Pomelo lining, wool-lined ties are easily deformed. Because the consumption level in the United States is higher than that in China, they usually buy a dozen of ties for one time, and each tie is worn for no more than 5 times.

3. Raw Material Identification

Handmade silk tie and polyester ties have been improved by post-processing techniques, and some can’t be identified by touch or appearance. Therefore, the way of distinguishing between these two is burning with fire. Generally, you can pull out a little fabric inside the tie head suture and use a lighter to burn it. When it contacts with the flame, it is the polyester filament that is formed into a hard block and it is the silk that turns into powder. This is a relatively simple and commonly used method. Note that you can only burn the thread, it is not good to burn the tie.
