Just like the other components of your uniform, the neckties you choose need to be durable and easy to wash. Kids play, they get dirty and they spill things it's what makes finding durable kid-friendly neckties so important. Silk ties aren't a good choice for kids and teens. They're not stain resistant and difficult to clean. Polyester ties are a much better option. They're more stain resistant, don't wrinkle easily and are much less fussy when it comes to washing.
