A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread - Page 90

Not so dark - but more important is the subject of computer monitors:

There is a really wide range of colors between different computer monitors.

We switched to iMacs a little over a year ago and on our monitors the colors of recent photos are very true to life.

Yet on an older PC type monitor the colors can be very different.

So in the end you really need to look at the fabric as a swatch or as ready made ties in a store.

Thanks David...I'm using a new MacBook Pro and the tie looks like a medium gray. It looks as though the darkest gray grenadine is the grossa charcoal gray #20? Now, I'm trying to figure out if I prefer the midnight blue or navy Piccola.

Hi David,

 

I'm looking to get a tie like Bruce Wayne's here, in both colour and texture:

 

As I know little about ties, could you advise me on type of tie and fabric/colour? For me, the colour looks like Cadbury milk chocolate except a few shades darker.

 

Thank you

Gentlemen,

 

I am proposing to my girlfriend this Friday night.  I am quite sure there will be no discrepancies on her end.  

 

The reason for the post is as follows:  I want to wear a Hober wedding tie on my wedding day.  What does everyone suggest?  I have a Hober navy garza grossa that I am in love with.  No doubt the quality is great, I'm just not sure of a wedding tie pattern I should choose.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, congratulations!

I will first assume that you will be wearing a single breasted suit of either solid navy or solid grey. Agreed? OK, onto the ties

First choice: Solid or patterned. If solid, it should be silver or grey for a navy suit, perhaps dark navy for a grey suit. You can pick grenadine (my choice for solid), reppe, satin, whatever.

Second choice: If pattern, it should be a small pattern that easily blends to solid at a distance. Classic wedding ties are black and white (or silver). The below are classic wedding patterns that would be great:

I was also looking for a shepherd check similar to Kent Wang's (http://www.kentwang.com/ties/shepherds-check.html) but didn't see one--perhaps it's hidden somewhere? Shepherd Check is a great choice.

If wearing a tux (wedding will be after 6, right?), well then a basic solid black self-tie (no pre-tied!) satin bowtie.

To answer the suit questions: yes, I am wearing a dark grey suit.  Groomsmen will be as well.  Two-button, notch lapel.  I am having Kent Wang make it for me.  I have one of his MTM suits and it's amazing.  I figured I couldn't go wrong with it.

 

Also, I think I want to go with a neat pattern.  Something that looks unobtrusive from a distance, but up-close has a noticeable pattern to it.  Much like Hober's #13 wedding tie.

I didn't think about this route, but I am intrigued.  

 

Price is no object for this.  This tie will have all the bells and whistles.

I probably would, but it seems Hober is all out of that fabric ATM.

 

That photo is some serious inspiration!  Maybe I'll go dual color, with the back blade a dark burgundy shade?

Those are great suggestions from stitches.

He should be restocking many fabrics shortly from what I understand.

Don't discount a sweet glen plaid or shepherd's check though But yeah, either of those grenadines would be awesome too.

Stitches, do those have a light lining or are they completely unlined?
