What's the name of that Hober silk, apropos?

The light grey wool/cashmere one looks very nice. With what do you wear it?

Midnight blue silk garza fina. FWIW to me it's a true navy blue, unlike the SH navy blue, which looks like a lighter navy blue to me. And thanks - a blue shirt, and dark grey pants, sometimes dark olive or dark brown donegal pants.

Excellent. I expect the usual awesome NOBD photos when it arrives, because that one (or the black) is on my list.

Here your Dark Chocolate Grenadine Garza Fina Tie has been folded, pinned and partially sewn:







A better photo of the area where tipping usually is; note what I was trying to explain earlier - the wool interlining is perfectly fitted. Normally the interlining simply has a flat finish above the tipping area.

The wool is naturally a lighter color so we have hand dyed the wool at our workshop, actually outside in the garden.







Here you can see the rolled edges and finished tie:

No, but now I have. Just out of curiosity, any particular reason why you opted for untipped? I usually go with self-lined tips for my grenadines - I worry about see-through on a grenadine.

I don't really know... I wanted the rolled edges and asked if that was possible for this fabric. The only other choice I made was 3-fold/4-fold. I left the rest of the construction to David.

Very happy. The colour is much deeper and more vivid than I expected, and it's beautifully made. I'll do a proper fit pic (with a different shirt) another time, but I had to try it on yesterday:
