A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread - Page 87

Thanks, stitches.

So, the days of 2 month wait are behind us ? I only need to wear a tie for 2 months a year and never got one because by the time I would have got it, I would have been back to summer clothes

 

There is no standard length, it depends on your height. It's a custom tie.

Does anyone have any grenadine swatch sets to lend? - I will pass it forward.   Any weave will do as I need to choose color and weave.  Maybe I should say prioritize rather than choose as I feel I am about to descend a very slippery slope where I will end up getting many ties. 

My experience has been that I get the email saying the tie is in the post and should take three weeks and then it surprises me by arriving a few days later.



He outlines on the website how to figure out length. I tweaked the length and width over a couple of orders before settling on my preferred dimensions.

I followed the instructions and nailed it on the first try. David's instructions are very good.

They are, I'm just indecisive.

I have a black silk and a grey silk, seen back in post 1200:

Do you find that the silk ones, being intended for ties, are a little stiff in the pocket when used as a handkerchief?
