LUCKY NUMBER 7

The famous number 7 tie. 

The tie, which has been snapped by street fashion bloggers from acorss the globe, is usually made of wool or wool and cashmere and features a hand-embroidered number 7 on the front of the tie. The story is that the tie was made 3 years ago. Signor Lino Ieluzzi from the famous Al Bazar store in Milan, always had an affiliation with the number 7, he was born on the 7th of October and had found many lucky encounters with the number 7 in his lifetime. The ties are almost always made from cloths other than silk. Signor Lino much prefers cashmere, wool and linen blends for ties over pure silks. (pic via guerreisms)
