If there is one accessory that significantly elevates a tailored suit from elegant and sophisticated to extremely elegant, it is definitely the seven-fold tie.
An extraordinary combination of sartorial skill and class, it has become a luxury accessory that well represents the philosophy of the contemporary gentleman.
How a 7 fold tie is made
But what is the creative process of this luxurious product? It is a very long process , which usually takes ten times longer than a classic tie. After the fabric has been carefully cut, the tie is skillfully folded in on itself seven times to create volume and structure. As a result of this layering, even the tie knot can have a more voluminous appearance.
History of the Seven Fold Tie
Although the seven-fold tie is now promoted by designers around the world, its advent in men's fashion dates back to the late 19th century. Fast forward to the 1920s, and the seven-fold tie became a hallmark of high society.
Production of these pieces declined rapidly over the next decade. Not only were they considered too laborious, but priorities changed with the onset of World War II, when silk was instead needed for the manufacture of war parachutes .
But it is in Italy, and more precisely in Naples , where the seven-fold tie acquires the modernity and elegance for which it is known today.
The Neapolitan tailoring tradition has been able to contribute to making this Neapolitan tie even more structured, soft and qualitatively high.
