• Business Executive (The Art of Pinstripes): The "matte" texture of Challis wool is the only one capable of standing up to the formality of a flannel pinstripe suit, tempering its severity.
  Outfit: Anthracite gray or deep blue pinstripe suit; white oxford cotton shirt. The tie conveys an air of quiet and confident authority.
• Heritage & Leisure: For the professional who retreats to his estate or club on the weekend, maintaining an impeccable aesthetic standard.
  Outfit: Herringbone Tweed or Prince of Wales jacket in brown tones; tobacco colored knit waistcoat; velvet trousers. A true country gentleman look.
• Intellectual Elegance (Study & Office): A pairing that evokes the charm of elite university campuses and historic professional offices.
  Outfit: Classic navy blue blazer with horn buttons; light blue shirt; medium gray flannel trousers. Dark brown leather lace-up shoe.

The tailor's advice: Challis wool, despite being warm, is surprisingly light. This allows for small and compact knots that do not slip. The recommended knot is a Four in Hand (Simple) very tight, to enhance the natural drape of the fabric without creating excessive bulk around the neck.
