With a fine hand and stunning colors, Wool Challis ties have been a wardrobe staple of an elegant gentleman ever since their invention in the 19th century. The name Challis was derived from the Anglo-Indian word Shalee, which means soft. It was first introduced at Norwich in 1932 as soft worsted wool or silk cloth and quickly became a favorite fabric of the upper class.
Perfect as sophisticated additions to a fall or summer ensemble, Wool Challis ties rarely wrinkle and offer a good alternative to madder silk or jacquard ties for your casual outfits and in more conservative colors and patterns even for the business wardrobe.
What makes this Wool Challis Tie so special?
1. Hand printed. Traditionally, wool challis ties were hand block printed, which was extremely labor intensive. Today, they are screen printed. To capture the best of the old and the new methods, Fort Belvedere ties are screen printed by hand, lending an old world charm.
2. Polka Dots. Polka dots are a very classic pattern and these Fort Belvedere ties feature a slightly larger dot on wool, which is classic combination only available by Fort Belvedere.
3. Workmanship. The ties are entirely sewn by hand, which is important to provide tie the flexibility. The untipped ends are meticulously hand rolled and much finer than what you usually see from high-end brands.
4. The Knot. The wool used for this tie has a certain thickness and hence it is best made up in traditional 3-fold construction, which results in an elegant knot.
5. Details. To ensure that your tie withstands the test of time, Fort Belvedere uses a special signature green 3-ply silk yarn from Germany to sew your ties by hand.
6. Sizes. Fort Belvedere offers 3 different sizes so that each man can attain the ideal proportions for their height.
Sizes
SHORT - for men that are 5'8" - 173 cm or shorter

Wool Challis Tie Style Tips
This Mohair blue wool challis tie with red yellow geometric pattern is very unusual in its color combination and something you won't find very often. It will likely always be the centerpiece of your ensemble so you have to make sure to stick with quiet accouterments such as solids or subtle patterns and stay clear of bold stripes unless you really understand to mix patterns well.
How to Store This Tie
Begin by untying the knot it in the opposite way you tied it; never store ties knotted! Roll it up for a day to allow the wrinkles to relax, and then hang on a tie rack in your closet.
Signature Green Gift Box
This wool challis tie comes in a heavy Fort Belvedere gift box.
