A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread - Page 76

Been wanting this tie every since I saw this post last year. Finally got it last week, after a long delay due to out-of-stock fabric. Well worth the wait!

Thanks, David!

518aata,

Great photos - thank you for your patience while we rewove your silk.



Mattcritchlow,

I am very happy that you like your ties.

First up is new Prometeo and Piccola grenadine silks (close cousins to the Grossa and Fina silk that we have now) I will send out swatch sets to the first 3 requests that are emailed (please don't send pms as I don't see those very quickly.)


We are working long hours to catch with our orders (due to our move to Chiang Mai) and hopefully will be caught up soon. I mention this as I hesitate to put new silks on our website.

Email sent, will certainly pass along if they are still available

Love them. Thanks David.

Crappy iPhone pics of my latest haul:




Left to right: Macclesfield Print #84, Burnt Orange Diamond Weave, Forest Green Grenadine. First two are standard lined 3-fold, last is lined 4-fold. All are 3 1/2" wide and kept slightly wider higher up to tie a longer (taller?) knot.

I have the following swatch sets which I will send out:

1. Linen

2. Repp Silk

3. Grab bag

Let me know if you wisht to have any of these sent to you by PM.

 

What are the two on the right?  I love the color and texture!

Repp Silk and Grab Bag are spoken for, but the linen set remains available.

 

Dark Red Grenadine Fina Silk Tie #2 and Dark Navy Grenadine Fina Silk Tie #10

All of the swatch sets are spoken for. I would ask everyone who is getting a swatch set to do the same and forward after your review.

The great thing about the swatch sets is David has a wish list section on his website so you can save your favorites on line.

Any timeline on when the Burgundy Grenadine Fina will be back in stock?

We now have our new Bianchi silks the Piccola is very similar to the Fermo Fossati Fina.

Swatch sets should be available tomorrow as well as ties.

We will have the out of stock Finas and Grossas rewoven in about 2 months.

Just received my two ties from SH -- very pleased with the results. Both are 55" long, 3 1/4" wide, and constructed for 4IH knots. The grenadine (Slate Blue) is a 4-fold construction and the linen (Powder Blue) is 3-fold.

Photos were taken outside, in the shade, and appear to be true to color (on my monitor at least).

Great ties! I just ordered the Slate Blue grossa myself. Seeing yours makes me even more confident in that decision. The linen looks stunning as well.

Sam Hober Garza Fina Powder Blue #15, this tie tied itself with a perfect dimple!
