A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread - Page 75

^ +1. Looks fantastic.

 

It looks like the midnight blue is much more pronounced than the brown. Is that accurate? Does the tie look striped in person, or do the colors blend together?

I'd have to say the brown is more pronounced than the blue. From about two feet it looks solid brown. The blue is only niticeable at close range.

^ Weird. In the second pic I see so much dark blue -- almost purple. Must be the lighting. Regardless, gorgeous tie!

Thanks, I like it very much also. You are right about the light though... the brown and blue can play games with your eyes. Makes it a little more interesting I think.

I just received my Hober bitter chocolate grenadine garza grossa and white linen pocket square. Love 'em.

DBCooper,

What was the construction on your tie? 4 fold or 6 fold, lined or unlined?

Shaun

Standard 4-fold construction. I think there's some lining too, but I didn't specify anything unusual in that regard.

I think we all recieved our ties this week. I have the same tie and love it. I also purchased. Silk Tie #20
Navy Blue & Powder Blue Hounds Tooth. Quite powerful.

PS. Linen swatch set available should anyone want it.

Here's the black garza fina I received with the bitter chocolate garza grossa.

What width is this?

3.5 inches

Hey there,

I have three sets of swatches I'm offering up for free. One per person. US only. And please promise to forward on to another good home once you're done with them.

1) "New - Macclesfield Silk Print" -- I think there are 20 in the set; pics are not yet up on samhober.com.
2) Diamond Weave silk
3) Random grab bag -- I have about 20 assorted swatches, between 2 and 4 in the following categories: pin dot grenadine, cotton, linen, wool challis, cashmere, grenadine grossa.

PM if you're interested. I'll drop them in the mail tomorrow.

Pm sent

^ #1 and #3 have both been claimed. #2 is still available.
