A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

[Andy57]

that especially popular navy/white stripe looks incredibly clean. which is it? looks like #UKU-13 to me. but when i was looking for it i came across #GFRST-1, which i also like very much.

It is UKU-13.

Does Trinity have the stripes from right to left or is this a Hober re-interpretation? You never know with the other place.

I find the Cambridge equivalent (Trinity Hall, same but with black ground) quite striking. Few people wear black ties for every day occasions anymore and the stripe gives a good excuse to avoid the funeral effect.

Hober will make it for you however you want.

Less the sweater (have never liked crewnecks) portion of look one, those are all just phenomenal. What is the tie in look four? Black wool, or midnight?

Approximately how much do the grenadine grossa ties stretch with wear? I'm thinking about asking for a tie 1-2 inches shorter to accomadate as I have one from Chipp that is definitely longer than when I first bought it.

Here's a look at the off-white and dark-red Mogador striped tie. If you like Irish-poplin, you'll probably like Mogador. It's got that same hard feel of Irish-poplin.

having grossa grenadine ties for about 10 years and most of thew being ma "go to" ties, I never noticed stretching with wear. 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 few days

N.B.1 : These ties are all 4 folds, lined with tipping and are stored loosely rolled in a box. I noticed some stretching only with light fabrics and unlined construction
