Hoberites,

Anyone ordered MCT 102. I have a swatch and it looks beautiful, but I would love to see a picture made up if someone has one.

BTW this is one of the best threads on the whole board.

And another request, if you guys don't mind - anyone have ordered a striped wool tie (http://www.samhober.com/wool-stripe-ties/), and could share a picture?

Skanstull-   the shot silk PSs are pretty wild-  not to everyone's taste.  Iridescent- some in red-green, or blue-yellow etc

I have that one, wearing it today in fact. I am away and don't have a camera, but it is quite nice. Subtle and elegant, as you'd expect.

I think I need a new tie to wear with suit in formal and "dressy" events. I've been using silver satin tie which is the most appropriate choice for that kind of events but now I want something different. So, do you think Sam Hober silver/gray grenadines are formal enough for my purposes? Which one would you choose if you were me? At the moment I think garza fine would be better, since it's more subtle but still has an interesting texture.

Bullswin-  re: stripes   British is (your) left to right.  American is vice versa.

If you consider questions like these, you're probably going to be dressed better than 99.5% of those in attendance. Get the one you like best.

I would def go with a dark navy or midnight grenadine in either weave, and maybe a charcoal reppe, however I would request samples before buying anything so you can see the colors in person

Can't wait. cheers.gif



 

Shockingly the ties arrived today. Even with the holidays, it was two weeks from order to delivery. Impressive. 

 

More importantly, the ties are incredible. Not that anyone here needs affirmation of the quality. But they really live up to their reputation.

How does one generally get a hold of David to talk about they want to place an order? PM? company email?

Good evening MKtitsworth,

As In Stitches mentioned email is best: [URL=http://customerservice@samhober.com][/URL]

And I am very relaxed and happy to answer your questions about how to make a tie that works well for you. Mainly I listen and ask questions trying to have your tie end up with your vision but my practical advice.

Our workshop is typically open 6 days a week (Monday through Saturday) from 8 to 430 (Thai time zone) although I will often be in my office working late at night or early in the morning so that I can answer questions for the American time zone.

I look forward to hearing from you - please ask as many questions as you like.

"Skanstull- the shot silk PSs are pretty wild- not to everyone's taste. Iridescent- some in red-green, or blue-yellow etc"


Pliny,

You are 100% correct.

The warp silk is shot across the longer weft silk with typically contrast colors which produces the brilliant effect. Also handwoven silk has a rough texture which also reflects light.

Slubs are often present again a result of the hand weaving and reeling - but not always....
