A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

It’s a nice tie and goes well with a dark grey suit. View attachment 2044979

No, it's PWT-5.

Curious if anybody DOES have the 5? Looks very interesting. Should I fall on that "sword" if nobody yet has?

My first reaction to the SH ties is that the FiH knot is much bigger and has the size of a Half-W without the symmetrical look. Size is nice with a med. spread collar space. My other ties may be obsolete; including Paul Stuart grenadines; they make such a small knot. I can tell it’s a combination of the taper and the lining. I went 59”x3.5”; std. 3 fold; self-tipped.

Speaking of buys, what is Hober's shipping at price wise nowadays?

 

[ksinc]

I paid $29 shipping for my 7 ties.

It’s the slate blue Fina; GFT-12 I actually wore it last night and it looked fantastic with a dark navy suit and white shirt. My wife said I Looked like a million dollars. She doesn’t know what SH is but she did not like my Paul Stuart grenadine ties at all. photo quality is not good. SM suit, PC shirt, SH tie, AE shoes...

I have some new Hober ties in, first one up today:

 

[Son Of Saphir]

David (Sam Hober),

when me wear your ties,
why do they always angle to the right of my body?

Wear your ties with a four in hand,
but always slants to the right to reveal my shirt buttons.

Any idea why the ties do this?

 

[ksinc]

Are they unlined?

 

[Son Of Saphir]

^^^

all lined 6 folds

I find my four-in-hands knots twist as you describe. That's one reason I prefer the pratt-shelby knot, even though it is a little bit bulkier
