Do you often find yourself looking at a crumpled necktie just as you're ready to set out for work or to a party? There's a simple way to avoid that happening. All you need to do is keep a thin strip of cardboard cut to exact size and shape of the ties you wear handy at home. Before pressing the tie slip the cardboard between the folds. This will prevent the hems on the back folds from marring the smoothness of the front of the tie.
