Transporting ties

[pontus75]

Anyone have any advise transporting ties? I'm moving this weekend to K.C. and I'm looking for a cheap & efficient way to transport approx. 50 ties.

roll them up gently. and pack them gently together in a seperate cardboard box.

How does everyone store their ties? roll them? hang them?

I would roll them and put them in a liquor box with the cardboard dividers. You should be able to fit all 50 in there safely. Just be sure to check whatever box you use for staples, etc.

I roll my ties up and lay them on their sides on the bottom shelf inside my armoire.

Funny. I'm moving next weekend too (though just a few miles away) and was wondering the exact same thing this evening concerning my ties, pocket squares.... I have a big plastic container that I think will hold all 50-60 of them folded and lying flat and was considering that.

While I'm not loving the thought of all that expensive silk in a cheap cardboard liquor box, j's idea may be an inexpensive alternative for a longer move. Come to think of it, you can get one of those big ass tupperwares at wal-mart for like $8 and considering the replacement cost of 50 ties (at least $6K-$7K), it's probably worth it.

That's a great idea; I would have never thought about that. Now all I need to do is find the nearest liquour store!
