A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

[Flyswatter]



After much deliberation over swatches...my first hober (and David's service) turned out to be just as excellent as this thread had led me to expect The brief was:

• White on Midnight Blue Pin Dot Grenadine
• Garza Grossa
• 4-fold

• 8cm/3.15in width
• Untipped, rolled edges
• Standard lining
• Tack stitches in white

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Awesome! I've been thinking about adding this tie to my next order, and your pics might have sealed the deal. I love pindot ties, and the fact that this one is a grenadine makes it even more appealing. Still waiting to see the new striped and pindot grenadines before I place an order, though!

Seems they snag pretty easily.... that the grossa with the larger weave? I wonder if the fina snags as easily..

That can be fixed with a special needle.

He promises pictures soon, but nothing yet. Looking forward to seeing them, too.

Dude, yeah, lol. Have you not been paying attention to the "News" section at the top left of the Hober page?! David has been talking about new patterned grenadine designs (multiple stripes and one pindot) for a couple months. The silks have finally arrived and been photographed. David told me he should have them all up on the site in 2 days or so.

Would you gentlemen consider this colour to be versitile with different shades of blue shirts or is it too dark ? as yet i don't own many ties and this would be my first Grenadine tie . https://www.samhober.com/grenadine-fina-solid-ties/dark-purple-black-grenadine-fina-silk-tie-35.html i ment to post this one sorry but would appreciate your opinions on both .https://www.samhober.com/grenadine-piccola-silk-ties/dark-purple-piccola-grenadine-silk-tie-19.html

I think archibaldleach and tdude have brought up good points. I probably love purple or purple-based ties too much (I have a number from Hober including a pindot, grenadines, diamond weaves, etc). I tend to favor pairing them with grey suits and white shirts (often times with stripes) but that is just a personal preference. I think a pairing with a blue shirt or with a navy suit would work fine as long as there is a decent contrast in shades.

I don't have either of the ties you are linking but I do have the dark purple/black grenadine grossa and I really like it. I haven't had a chance to post a pic of it yet. I have posted pics with other purple ties in posts #1820, 1929, 2011, 2065, 2196 and 2284 if you want to take a look. To archibaldleach's point though, I don't think of purple ties as basics (but I do love me some purple!).

Well crap. Nope, I love my Hober tie but I don't follow it all that much.

Nah, I probably just follow it too much.

Flyswatter speaks the truth...and I'm sure he would never play around with our emotions.

I have been waiting very patiently for the photos of the new stuff...

In the meantime, my last order included a new oxford weave and, like some of the pics that have been posted have indicated, it feels tremendous. I will be ordering more of those.
