I went to a J. Crew outlet store today (good deals there, for what it's worth) and I noticed ALL of their ties are hanging pre-knotted
Now, I'm no expert, but my understanding is leaving a tie in a knot for a prolonged period of time (any longer than 2-3 days) damages it, sometimes beyond repair [unless you go to one of those pricey tie repair specialists, I'm sure they can fix it]. I've once destroyed a tie by doing this so I know it's not a myth.
Soooo.... any J. Crew regulars (or employees), are their ties always hung like this? Is the tie still wearable??
Now I know if J.Crew was selling perma-damaged ties, nobody would buy them. Just left scratching my head on this one.
