Style and Pairing Advice

A tribute to the most noble British textile tradition. This Don Mimì tie is made of pure Challis wool, an ancient and fine fabric known for its incredibly soft hand, almost cashmere-like, and for its sophisticated, matte finish. The dusty and distinct avion blue color is embellished with a classic geometric micro-pattern that adds depth without being heavy. A discreet luxury accessory, designed for the man who appreciates the substance of materials and an elegance that doesn't need to raise its voice.

• Winter Business (The Art of Flannel): The matte texture of the Challis is the natural complement to worsted wool or flannel suits. A pairing that conveys competence and warmth.
  Outfit: Anthracite gray flannel suit or light pinstripe; white poplin or oxford shirt. The avion tie softens the severity of the dark gray.
• Gentleman's Weekend (Heritage Style): Perfect for sophisticated leisure, club lunches, or weekend getaways.
  Outfit: Tweed jacket in shades of brown or beige; camel-colored cardigan; corduroy trousers. The printed wool harmonizes perfectly with rustic fabrics.
• Classic Separate (Everyday Elegance): For the office or less formal professional appointments, avion blue is a classy choice that stands out from the usual navy.
  Outfit: Dark blue blazer with metal or horn buttons; light blue shirt with fine stripes; medium gray trousers. Dark brown suede shoes.

The tailor's advice: Challis wool is a light yet substantial fabric that allows for impeccable, less voluminous knots. The ideal knot is a Four in Hand (Simple), carefully tightened to create a fossetta ("dimple") central deep, enhancing the soft and natural drape of this fine English material.
