Must own ties for a beginner
First I fully agree with Die Work Wear, Sam Hober and Mr Wonderbeak : in the end its not about the 5 must have essentials but more about the 5 "go to" ties in ones collection. These are ties you like, pairing well with your wardrobe and related to context (social & professional) So, If I had to...- kravatorf

A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread
I realized with time that Satin ties are not that versatile. They tend to be either a perfect match (mostly on the formal side) or to look quite odd. I own a few mulberrywood weaves and I love them. They are elegant with something different both noticeable and subtle. On top of it, they are...- kravatorf

A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread
Hello, as said above, a swatch is a good idea I own this tie and it happens to be quite versatile and makes a great winter tie on the cold color side (because of its almost fluffy texture ans muted tone) It pairs very well with every navy / grey suit I own and happens to bring a sophisticated...- kravatorf

A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

As my tie collection is becoming huge, even my most popular ties are not worn on a weekly basis. I probably would have noticed significant strechin wearing my ties every...- kravatorf

Anyone here that own Hugo Boss Selection Tailored suits?
I totally agree with the general low value for money buying a boss suit today... Anyway about a decade ago I bought a Boss selection suit. It was on sale and I didn't know much about suits/menswear. The fabric is delightful (smooth textured midnight blue) and with minor alteration the suit...- kravatorf

Does this combo work?
it looks fine to me... you may check if something weird happens under specific lightning (dusk, neon...) about the shirt, and depending on your complexion, plain white or light blue are safe choices... but it's a good background for a bold shirt- kravatorf

Pal Zileri Blazer Fit?
It mainly depends on the drop (captain obvious)... about the 6r and 7r, I would say classic but not on the balloon side. Anyway, my alteration taylor find them easy to work on. About the working cuff's, it depends on the line: sartoriale => yes, lab => no, mainline => most often yes You may...- kravatorf

Pal Zileri Blazer Fit?
to my experience, It depends on the model ==> Pal zileri is one of my "go to" brand (mainline and sartoriale) and some model are a perfect fit at first, others need some serious alterations so, without an extensive knowledge of their lines / models it's hard to pick a blazer cut with wider...- kravatorf

Advice on finding a blended/linen tie with this suit?
Sam Hober should do the trick check the "Atkinsons Irish Poplin", 50% silk 50% merino wool, great drape and looks like a heavy silk, may be a little less shinny a little less formal, "italian linen / cotton" for summer, cashmere for winter (either blackwarp or striped) . and a nice texture...- kravatorf

A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread
There is a softness typical of cashmere meaning that the fabric seems smoother. It's very close to the usual 100% silk grossa: the knot looks identical and the drape is may be a little lighter. I noticed that I tight a little less the knot (just a little) with the cashmere, It looks more...- kravatorf

Neckties: A Discussion Thread
actually, I prefer a stiff fabric to make a nice dimple that will last all day long without having a too tight knot. anyway, you can try this simple trick: pinch the front blade fabric both above and under the knot just before tightening the knot so that the dimple is held by the whole knot.- kravatorf

Jacket size and weight loss
I've been there, and a good alteration tailor is your best friend here. You should talk to him about do and don't related to the MTM process As you are loosing weight (and probably be more active on the sport side), you will also experience a change of posture. Some weird things may happen to...- kravatorf

Will this suit and tie combination work?
about colors, as stated before, grey suit + pink shirt, the best (safe and elegant) choice is navy blue (and it will be useful with many other attire). Other good choices are a grey tie (other shade than the suit to have some contrast), other shades of blue (slate, french, indigo, not too...- kravatorf
