The hand rolled edges are beautifully done and is a credit to David and his team.

You have a sharp eye two of the swatches are indeed dark chocolate and bitter chocolate, I think the bitter chocolate will be one of the next commissions.

Macclesfield Madder swatch set has just been claimed, but the linen set is still available. PM me and it's yours!

Just received a couple Macclesfields... Beautiful as always.

I also got a mini-set of Burnt Orange swatches... The twill, the black-warp cashmere, and the diamond weave. Because all the cool kids are doing it, I'll send these to any interested parties, too.

Am I the only one who thinks they are so perfect as to be unattractive, especially in pocketsquare?

I would love to have them if you do not mind sending them my way?

Not as exciting as actual tie pictures, but here are a few grenadine swatches (some fina, some grossa) with a medium grey Benjamin Sartorial Granoro suit. I think the pictures are reasonably color accurate, so they might be of some assistance to those in doubt. I'm still trying to pick a tie for my wedding, but Sam Hober seems the way to go.

Dark blue, slate blue, bitter chocolate:
