Excellent news regarding the new striped grenadines! Can't wait to see what they are.

That rough silk looks really lovely in your photos, thanks for sharing!

^Lovely tie. Would love something like that in dark brown. I am just absolutely certain that I will have to pay both tax, custom duties and a fee i fI buy anything from Thailand...

Today's Hober is the much under-appreciated red tie. This is the dark red diamond weave (3-fold construction).

Can you tell me what fabric this is?

Presumably the Forest Gren Thai Rough Silk

Thanks - had not looked on the web site for a few weeks so had not noticed. Will need to add to my wish list.

Here's my gray piccolo.

Very nice! I gotta have one of those

That's it. As you can see it's not as dark in real life as in pictures on Sam Hober website.

If you take a shot, use the post office shipping, not DHL. The courier firms make a special effort to charge you tax and duty even when it's not required, because then they can charge you a $10 'brokerage fee' (I'm still mad at DHL for charging me $30 tax, duty and fees on a gift below the duty-required value some years back). With the post office, experiences vary and of course it'll depend on your country's postal carrier, but for me, I find they frequently don't charge tax/duty.

Thanks - I would guess the "plum" coulour is also not as dark as well.

The color and texture make it a nice, fun tie...
