How To Untie & Take-Off Your Tie + How To Get Rid of Wrinkles

About this video

The Gazette team demonstrates the proper technique for untying a tie knot to preserve the garment’s integrity and longevity. They explain why pulling the back end directly causes thread damage, and instead recommend reversing the tying process by gently loosening the knot and removing each end carefully. The video also covers proper tie storage, including rolling wrinkles out and hanging the tie correctly.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that pulling the tie’s back end directly strains the thread and risks ripping the garment, either immediately or over time
• The Gazette team recommends loosening the knot gently by pulling side to side, then removing the shorter end followed by the longer end to reverse the tying process
• The Gazette team suggests rolling a worn tie around your finger for about a day to remove wrinkles from quality interlining, then hanging it up for storage
