Sevenfold Neckties
The sevenfold tie is a luxury version of the regular men's necktie, often hand made in Napoli, Italy. The sartorial brands from the Napoli area in Italy often use ancient techniques and produce silk neckties similar to the way it was made by hand several generations back. The sevenfold tie (cravatte sette pieghe) is hand cut and folded six times, which creates a thicker/ heavier tie (more silk used).

Most of the high end 7 fold ties are hand made in Italy. More specific: the Napoli area in Italy, where small shops specialize in high end men's accessories using similar techniques and processes (sometimes time consuming) as decades ago.
Unlined Sevenfold Tie
Robert Talbot makes an unlined sevenfold tie for decades, fancy jacquard silk, hand made in the USA. Only the Robert Talbott Sevenfold collection (not the Estate and Best Of Class collection). Due to the (often) heavy jacquard silk used for the unlined Robert Talbott tie, the tie looks close to an "regular tie", compared to some other brands where the hand stitching is shown on the front of the tie.
