Product Information
Full details
This Equetech Lurex Stripe Zipper Tie in Red is designed for adult riders seeking a polished and consistent look for horse shows. Its key benefit is the unique zip adjustment system, ensuring a perfect tie knot effortlessly. A minor caveat is that it's a ready-tied tie, which may not suit those who prefer to tie their own neckwear. The tie features a striking three-stripe pattern made from a durable, silk-like woven jacquard polyester.

FAQs
Is this tie suitable for children?
This specific model is designed for adults. Equetech offers a children's version of the Lurex Stripe Zipper Tie.
How do I clean the tie?
Hand wash the tie in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Dry it flat and iron on a low setting if needed, on the reverse side.
Can I adjust the length of the tie?
The length is fixed, but the zip adjuster allows you to control the tightness and the position of the knot for a custom fit around the neck.
What material is the tie made from?
The tie is made from 100% woven polyester, designed to resemble silk in appearance and feel while offering greater durability.
How does the zip adjuster work?
The zip is located at the back of the tie and allows you to slide it up or down to tighten or loosen the knot, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
What is the pattern on the tie?
The tie features a classic three-stripe pattern in red, which is ideal for equestrian show attire.
Troubleshooting
Zip adjuster feels stiff
Gently flex the zip mechanism back and forth. If still stiff, a tiny drop of silicone lubricant can be applied to the zip teeth, ensuring it does not stain the fabric. Wipe away any excess.
Tie knot does not sit straight
Loosen the zip adjuster completely, readjust the tie around the neck, and then re-tighten the zip. Ensure the tie lies flat against the shirt collar before tightening.
Fabric appears creased after storage
Hang the tie on a hanger or lay it flat. Use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric only, avoiding direct heat on the jacquard pattern.
