Style and Matching Tips

A tribute to the noblest British textile tradition. This Don Mimì tie is crafted from pure Challis wool, an ancient and prized fabric known for its incredibly soft, almost cashmere-like hand and its sophisticated, matte finish. The dusty, distinguished air force blue color is embellished with a classic geometric micro-design that adds depth without weighing it down. A discreetly luxurious accessory, designed for the man who appreciates the substance of materials and an understated elegance.

• Winter Business (The Art of Flannel): The matte texture of challis is the natural complement to worsted wool or flannel suits. A combination that conveys expertise and warmth.
  Outfit: Charcoal gray flannel or light pinstripe suit; white poplin or Oxford shirt. A navy tie softens the starkness of the dark gray.
• Gentleman's Weekend (Heritage Style): Perfect for refined leisure, lunches at the club or weekends away.
  Outfit: Tweed jacket in shades of brown or beige; camel cardigan; corduroy trousers. Printed wool pairs perfectly with rustic fabrics.
• Classic Suit (Everyday Elegance): For the office or less formal professional appointments, air force blue is a classy choice that breaks away from the usual navy.
  Outfit: Dark blue blazer with metal or horn buttons; light blue shirt with thin stripes; medium gray trousers. Dark brown suede shoes.

Tailor's tip: Challis wool is a lightweight yet full-bodied fabric that allows for flawless, low-bulk knots. The ideal knot is a Four in Hand (Simple), carefully tightened to create a deep central dimple, enhancing the soft, natural drape of this fine English material.
