Gentle Attachment: When fastening the tie chain, avoid pulling or twisting it forcefully. Align the chain with the tie's width and secure it lightly—excessive pressure may damage the tie fabric or the chain's clasp.
Avoid Chemical Contact: Keep the brass tie chain away from harsh substances like perfume, cologne, hairspray, and laundry detergents. These chemicals can cause discoloration or corrosion, ruining the polished finish.
Proper Storage: Store the tie chain separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box compartment when not in use. This prevents scratches from other accessories (like cufflinks or watches) and protects it from moisture that causes tarnishing.
Limit Water Exposure: Remove the tie chain before washing hands, showering, or swimming. Prolonged contact with water can accelerate corrosion, even though brass is corrosion-resistant. Dry it immediately if it gets wet accidentally.
