A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

[pinkpanther]

With respect to all the tie width discussion, I prefer 3.375". That said, you all are on the right thread because David will make your tie however wide you like.

Nice 'fit, sir.

This is a great example of a tie I would never think of buying seeing it on the website, but realizing how useful it could be when seen in context. This happens with squares for me all the time: seeing one alone on a table or on a website, I don't know how it work and pass on it, but seeing it in use, it looks great.

Thank you sir. Totally agree that pics help...we need more!

I feel exactly the same way. Pinkpanther's tie/outfit combo will do this to you. I've purchased many ties that I thought I could never use just by viewing his posts. He has a great eye for ties and outfits and you can't go wrong following his leads.

Glad I could help.

Attended a wedding this past weekend … crappy pics, great tie!

B&W Shepard's Check … my first Sam Hober … LOVE IT!!

Really, really nice.

Always wondered if I should get that (Shepard check), or the black and white houndstooth. (Seems too similar//same color scheme to get both)

When in doubt I error on the side of...both.

NICE that is pretty intense. I do not think i would have the balls to pull that off. I would walk around with a big fat grin on my face all day.

Also you have luxurious hair.

6''4", 275lbs. My Hobers are 3 1/2", but I have some Canalis that are around 4", and while they may overpower a lesser man, I feel they're still within proportion for me.

Really, really nice.

Thanks PP! Your pics are awesome BTW!!

To add to the discussion, I went with a 53 in x 3.5 in for this … I'm 5'5" w/ a skinny build and I think the width was great! I think my ideal range is 3" to 3.5" … depending on the style.

Cheers!

Got any pics of an jacket-less 3.5 in tie that you happen to like?

Do not take off your jacket when you are wearing a tie unless you will faint from heat exhaustion otherwise.

I am quite young (< 25) so I have not been around for pre-skinny tie fashion era's so I have trouble understanding tie widths bigger than 3.25.

It is never too early to grow up.

By which I mean, try 3.25".

Yea after trying on a few ties stashed in my wardrobe I think I can do 3.0 fine. Slowly Ill creep myself into this range.
