I have that tie and it is very nice. Wrt your questions:
Q1: yes
Q2: yes (although there could be other technical differences I am not aware of)
Q3: most on SF (including myself) would consider that a seasonal tie. However, fall/winter is a pretty long season.
Bonus: Other than the solid and stripe grenadines you might check out the woven pin dot ties David offers
Happy shopping. Also, if you haven't tried one of David's Macclesfields they really are quite nice. Claghorn posted a pic of a burgundy in action a page or so back that is tremendous.
A little help on terminology and construction.
My next Hober will be a small pattern on a dark red or burgundy ground. I'm torn between the Macclesfields in the 120-126 range versus the Challis Macclesfield Dark Red Pattern Wool Tie #3 (below).
So, they are both identified on David's site as Macclesfields.
Q1: Are they both printed?
Q2: Is the only difference the former are silk and the latter wool?
Q3: Is the #3 deemed a seasonal tie?
Bonus question: Is there a favorite "non-printed" option in dark red/burgundy?
(Man, that #3 looks good but I really need something for year round use.)
Thanks in advance.
