Collezione Don Mimì - LOGO

Length: 148 cm
Width: 8.5 cm
Material: 100% Silk genadine
Color: Dark blue
Production: Handcrafted, Made in Italy

Silk genadine is recognized by its open weave, almost honeycomb-like, which gives it a visual transparency and a dry hand. This dark blue tie, built with three folds, takes advantage of the fabric's lightness to create a compact knot that holds its position. A piece of sartorial craftsmanship designed to lighten formal suits when temperatures rise, keeping the rigor of the suit intact.

Style and Pairing Advice

  • April meeting: Silk genadine takes weight off the formal suit without detracting from authority. The matte texture absorbs light and avoids excessive contrasts.
    Outfit: Light grey fresco wool suit, white poplin shirt, black calfskin oxfords.
  • Daytime ceremony: The open-weave dark blue tones down summer brightness and matches perfectly with the roughness of seasonal natural fabrics.
    Outfit: Beige linen suit, light blue shirt with semi-spread collar, dark brown loafers.
  • Outdoor dinner: A less severe approach, where the texture of the genadine makes a visual and tactile difference compared to smooth silk.
    Outfit: Unstructured navy blue cotton blazer, thin striped shirt, cream-colored chinos, suede loafers without socks.

The tailor's advice: Given the natural friction of silk genadine, the knot holds its position perfectly without loosening. A simple knot (Four in Hand) is sufficient: asymmetrical, not very voluminous and in total harmony with the lightness of the three-fold structure.

Product care: Dry clean. Do not iron directly on the genadine so as not to crush the characteristic open weave; use an interposed cotton cloth at minimum temperature. Store untied and hanging. If folds form, leave it overnight in a humid environment to let the fibers relax naturally. If over time it needs an intervention — from washing to repair — our sartorial regeneration service will take care of it with the same attention with which it was sewn.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between silk genadine and silk twill? +
Silk genadine is woven on special looms that create an open knit structure, similar to a honeycomb. Compared to twill, it is lighter, slightly rough to the touch and matte, ideal for lightening formal looks during the warm months.
What knot is recommended for a silk genadine tie? +
The simple knot (Four in Hand) is the best choice. The weave of the genadine creates strong friction, which means a small, asymmetrical knot will remain firm all day without needing to be constantly tightened.
Can I wear this dark blue tie to a summer wedding? +
Certainly. Dark blue is a rigorous base of the male wardrobe. The texture of the genadine makes it light enough to pair without excessive contrasts with summer suits in fresco wool, linen or cotton.
What does three-fold construction mean? +
It means that the tie is made by folding a single panel of silk onto itself three times, according to the traditional sartorial method. This guarantees a more natural drape and a superior hold compared to industrial productions.
