7-fold
Such a tie is believed “the queen” among ties. A 7-fold tie requires double the fabric than a traditional 3-fold one such as double the amount of hand workmanship. The way a 7-fold tie falls is unexceptionable. Such a construction gives the tie a beautiful drape, impossible to achieve with less fabric. The difference between a 3-fold tie and a 7-fold one can be perceived only by wearing it.
