Don Mimì Collection - LOGO

Length: 148 cm
Width: 8 cm
Material: 100% Challis wool
Color: Navy blue background with beige and burgundy geometric pattern
Production: Handcrafted, Made in Italy

Challis wool offers a soft and matte hand, absorbing light differently than silk and giving depth to dark tones. This navy blue tie, constructed with three folds, features a beige and burgundy geometric pattern that emerges discreetly without visually dominating the outfit. A sartorial accessory designed for the cold months, capable of restoring consistency to the knot while maintaining an impeccable drape.

Style and Pairing Advice

  • Board of directors: The wool balances the visual weight of the suit with geometric rigor, creating a professional and decisive image.
    Outfit: Charcoal grey flannel suit, white cotton twill shirt, black calfskin oxford shoes.
  • Business lunch: The burgundy and beige pattern links the warm tones of the trousers to the dark structure of the jacket, breaking the uniformity with measure.
    Outfit: Midnight blue tweed blazer, light blue oxford shirt, beige moleskin chino trousers, dark brown loafers.
  • Saturday in the studio: A multi-layered construction where the challis wool accessory fits naturally, elevating relaxed attire.
    Outfit: Camel double-breasted coat, dark blue merino wool cardigan over a thin-striped shirt, chocolate suede brogue derbies.

The tailor's advice: Challis wool has a fluid yet compact drape. A half-Windsor knot is the most suitable choice for this structure: it fills the collar of a winter shirt well while maintaining a clean symmetry proportional to the 8 cm blade width.

Product care: Dry clean. Do not iron directly on the fabric — use a damp cloth in between at low temperature. Store hanging or rolled up, never folded across. If wrinkles form, a few minutes hanging in a humid environment is enough. If over time it needs an intervention — washing, width modification, or simply new life — our tie regeneration service is the only one in Italy specialized in this.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the particularity of challis wool for a tie? +
Challis wool is a lightweight yet warm fabric, characterized by a matte finish and an extremely soft hand. Unlike heavier wools like tweed, it allows for a compact and elegant knot without creating too much bulk under the collar.
Can I wear this tie with an elegant formal suit? +
It is ideal for winter suits in structured fabrics like flannel or wool cloth. Instead, avoid pairing it with very shiny worsted wool suits, where the material contrast with the matte finish of the challis would be disharmonious.
Which knot is recommended for the dimensions of this tie? +
With a classic width of 8 cm and the typical drape of challis wool, the half-Windsor is the best option. It guarantees a solid and triangular knot, perfect for the open collars of winter shirts.
How should I store the tie after taking it off? +
Always untie it completely, slipping the fabric without forcing the knot. Store it hanging to allow the wool fibers to stretch and naturally lose the folds accumulated during the day.
