HOW TO WEAR A TIE WITH SWAG

Fashion rules tells you that the tip of your tie should reach your belt. 

But it's okay to wear your tie longer, you only have to remind yourself to 1 rule and 1 rule only. 

Wear it the Agnelli way and never ever the Trump way.

ALEXANDER OLCH - LOOKBOOK FW '13

Man I love wool ties, and this Alexander Olch collection is mouth watering!

Alexander Olch may be one of the premier names in luxury neckwear, but the designer’s story is far from conventional. Olch didn’t study fashion or apprentice in his craft. He actually got his start in the men’s accessories game after completing a thesis film at Harvard. Rather than a T-shirt or a baseball hat, Olch decided to make a necktie as a gift for his crew. It took him about a year and half to get the sample back — long enough to lose track of the crew — but he decided to show it to some old friends at dinner one evening in the early 2000s. They wanted to buy it, and a business was born. Over the course of the following years, Olch expanded his offerings to a full line of neckties, bow ties, and accessories: all made in New York, and all cut from the finest materials. A decade after its founding, Olch’s signature combination of Old World craftsmanship and distinctly modern style is still going strong. (pics via flickr)

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)
