Hi gents,

Just looking down at myself, I see I snagged my nice navy grenadine tie on something, at some point. Its toward the bottom and not overly visible, but its still a bummer. I dislike how easily ties can be damaged.

What are your thoughts on damaged or "rough around the edges" ties? Do they completely ruin the look for you? Or is a little fraying or snags no big deal?

This may help you.

It's why I don't like grenadines anymore.

Depends upon how bad it is.

Tip: You may be able to pull the snag through to the back with a crochet hook.

In my business days, fine ties were a weakness (One of many! ) the maiden voyage for which inevitably involved wearing it to a business lunch where, equally inevitably, it would be christened with a large dollop of something gooey! 😭

Unlike outerwear that takes on an element of character when weathered and distressed, I don’t find this to be desirable in a tie. A grenadine, no less, which is a bit higher on the formality scale.

Get a “Snag-nab-it”. Yes, silly name but it works well to push the pulled thread to the other side. And it’s only a few dollars.

Grenadines snag just by looking at them the wrong way. Occupational hazard...love them and occasional replacement is part of the cost of wearing them.

Never heard of it. Looks like a pretty useful gizmo! Thanks! :beer:

Pray tell, where might one get one or three or four of those snazzy little gadgets. What great 'mystery stocking stuffers' they would make this coming Christmas holiday, but at what cost? LOL. :icon_scratch:

You can get them at Walmart, Amazon, Ebay amongst other places. $5 at Walmart.

What about other heavily textured weaves such as diamond weave and hopsack? Are they any good?

Yup, my initial Google inquiry listed at least six buying options from Amazon.

The dog grabbed a silk knit tie I was wearing a while back and stretched it almost to my knees. No question that I had to replace it.

I have no idea unfortunately. Only have experience doing this with a Grenadine.

I'd e-mail Hober though, he probably knows.

Ooh, what breed did you replace it with?

If it was my choice he would have been the last dog ever to live in my house.

Hahahah, fair enough.

I've always wanted a dog, but hearing stories like this and.....

Thanks! It sounds like it's time for a visit to the local Walmart.
