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)

HACKETT FITS PERFECT IN IT'S NEW JACKET

I had the pleasure to visit the brand new showroom of Hackett in The Netherlands. Recently they moved from Amsterdam to Haarlem, situated in a monumental building from the 1890's, with it's original ornaments. The collection is divided over 3 rooms with each it's own atmosphere. Starting with the tailored collection called Mayfair. Then there is a room for the Aston Martin & Cooper collection. The Cooper collection is a collaboration with the Cooper family (indeed the ones from Mini Cooper) nowadays they are making bicycles. The Cooper collection is sophisticated and functional. The largest part of the main-floor is reserved for the Hackett Casual collection. This room is extended with a conservatory. Club blazers, fair-isle's, cricket sweaters and bow-ties, you named it and you find it in this area. Last but not least the accessory room, this room is one big suitcase packed with shoes, from espadrilles till Belgian loafers, bags, cufflinks and much more. Thanks to the nice staff it was a great experience to see the world of Mr. Classic

AGE DOESN'T HAVE TO COME WITH TIME

The limited edition project utilizes an innovative design process that lends a vintage, worn-in vibe to the iconic Woolrich Arctic Parka. Each parka is hand-sprayed, hand-stitched and washed until it looks “Aged to Perfection”. Hand-stitching and embroidered American flags on the sleeves highlight the brand’s heritage and long-standing roots in U.S. garment history, while still maintaining a contemporary design aesthetic.

The six piece “Aged to Perfection” capsule collection will be available at retailers worldwide, as well as the Woolrich John Rich & Bros. online store.
