the word that comes to mind when i see Sam Hober stuff is perfection. the range/variety of ties they have available is endless and look at the hand rolled edges on those pocket squares posted above, i dont even think a machine could do it that well. fantastic stuff.

I received six ties last week from Sam Hober. One is for me and five are for the best man and groomsmen at my wedding. They look incredible, and if I can manage to find a way to photograph them that comes close to capturing how great they are (in between the million other wedding things that need to get done), I'll post it here. Suffice to say, David and his crew did an incredible job here. I will definitely be getting more ties from him in the future!

I looked at the large photo in order to see what pattern I would want to order.

After about 4 seconds, the only logical answer that came to mind was, "One of each."

NOBD,
A gentleman in Australia asked us for a silver bar tack not so long ago and the tie ended up looking great so we ordered more colors of of our bar tack thread.
Contrast colors have been very popular and we are doing them very often now. +1 I think it looks great.
davesmith,
The bar tacks are made by hand. When time allows I could take some photos but a video would probably show the process better. Thanks!

Hi David,

One of your customers from Australia here. I received the package of ties and pocket squares a two weeks ago, and finally found some time to take some pictures.
I'm absolutely pleased with how they turned out and the amount of quality work put into it. I'll be looking to order more soon! :D







Cheers,
