Wrong. Ties made out of silk "recover" best when rolled, not hung. Trust me, I used to work in a tie shop. However I do hang mine due to lack of space, tie racks are great

+1 for the tie racks. Saves space and keeps the ties in decent shape.

I use a tie rack as well, and my ties have been fine. I've read that with silk you're supposed to roll ties, not hang them, but I simply don't have the room to do that.

I used to roll them after letting them air out, but now I do just this because of space constrains in my chest of drawers (i.e. too many ties, not enough space).

Roll.

I roll mine and keep them in the top dresser drawer!

I roll them. Lady Canuker and myself just finished the closet to which I bought some drawers to hold my ties. I shall post a photo tonight when we get home.

I hang them. Rolling them sometimes makes the edges curl.

I hang all mine but then someone on here said not to hang knits so now I've got a whole bunch stacked and laying flat. Should I even be worrying about that or can I go OCD and hang everything so it looks better?

Perhaps- But I've had good luck with hanging. My woolies especially do better hanging.

But also like you, I've no room to roll and store my ties.

That's how I roll.

 

[Catechumen]

If, after unknotting my tie I notice especially severe creasing, I'll roll the tie for about 24 hours and then hang it up, otherwise I just immediately hang my tie on a rack. I hang all my ties ( but, I don't wear sock ties).

This thread inspired me to roll my ties and store them on a shelf in my closet. I'll see how this works out for me in the long run, but so far I like it. Until now, I've always stored them hanging.
