Product Information
Full details
This Equetech Lurex Stripe Zipper Tie in Red is designed for young riders (kids) seeking a polished show look with ease of use. Its key benefit is the pre-tied design with a back zip adjuster, ensuring a perfect knot every time. A potential caveat is that while made from durable polyester, the woven jacquard aims to mimic silk, which may require specific care.

FAQs
Is this tie suitable for adult riders?
This specific variant is sized for kids. Equetech offers adult versions of their zipper ties.
How do I ensure the tie fits correctly?
The tie has a zip adjuster at the back. Loosen the zip to fit around your neck, then zip it up until the tie is snug and the knot sits comfortably at your collar.
Can I machine wash this tie?
Hand washing in cool water is recommended to preserve the fabric's texture and color. Machine washing may damage the woven jacquard material.
What is the material of the tie?
The tie is made from 100% polyester woven jacquard fabric.
What does 'pre-tied' mean?
The tie is already formed into a knot. You do not need to tie it yourself; you simply adjust it for fit.
How should I store the tie?
Store the tie flat or loosely folded to prevent excessive creasing. Avoid sharp folds that could damage the fabric.
What does the 'Lurex Stripe' refer to?
Lurex is a type of yarn that has a metallic or shiny appearance, often incorporated into the stripe pattern to give it a subtle shimmer.
Troubleshooting
Zip is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zip. Gently try to work the zip back and forth. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) applied to the teeth might help.
Fabric appears creased after washing
Ensure the tie is dried flat. If creases remain, iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the underside of the fabric.
Color fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Always wash in cool water and consider washing inside out.
