Rebuilding tie collection - Sam Hober vs Drakes vs Shibumi vs Other?

[Count de Monet]

In my experience, the intersection of high quality, complete customization, and excellent customer service offered by David Hober is simply without equal among web based clothing retailers.

Only web based?

It sounds he is better than many out there, including Charvet, Brioni, Ricci, etc.

Some of the brands I use frequently and would recommend depending on what you're looking for:

E. G. Cappelli (my go to tie maker)
A. Quaranta Locatelli
E. Marinella (not at full price)
Viola Milano (they run sales frequently)
Brunati Como (same as above)
Drake's (for crunchy knit ties)
Sam Hober (mostly for grenadines)
Shibumi Firenze
Vanda Fine Clothing
H. N. White (their unlined and untipped stuff)
Conrad Wu (closed down I think)
Gentlemenclover (for unique designs)
Francesco Marino
Paolo Albizatti
Granqvist Store
Exquisite Trimmings (their in house ties offer great value)
Passaggio Cravatte (light and airy ties)

I suggest Biagio Santo, an italian tie maker. Top quality and good designs!
