A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

[varsityreds0123]

The hand-rolled edges on that tie are nothing short of fantastic.

With all the new entrants in the tie market, I sometimes think people have forgotten what amazing work David and his team do.

Any chance of some new Macclesfield prints coming in the near future?

So received my first tie from Sam Hober.

I'm sure a 7 Fold wasn't the wisest or most appropriate choice for a wedding tie but I like it quite a bit.

Why would you say that? I say a 7-fold is perhaps exactly the most appropriate choice of construction for a wedding tie. 7-folds are considered elegant, luxurious, even a bit unnecessarily over-the-top (but in a good way), since they use up so much more silk and require more time and skill in construction than a typical tie. So what better occasion to splurge on such a tie than your own wedding?

Does that same rule apply to all wedding ties? I recently got a Sheperd's check in standard 3-fold.

Also - for anyone that owns a prince of wales check tie - does it look as elegant as the one worn by Hugo in this video:
?

It's not a "rule", just my personal thoughts. Nothing wrong at all with the standard construction for your tie.

Sure, they're all going to look fairly similar. I like the slightly larger scale of the check on his tie. But from a distance, you won't really notice since POW ties resolve to a solid light silver/gray. Assuming a decent quality tie, just need to make sure it ties a decent knot with a good dimple.

I would definitely buy one if @Sam Hober could offer a slightly larger scale like this:

I wore one to a wedding a few weeks ago. It’s up to you if you think it looks as elegant.

Looks pretty darn good to me - would you say there is a sheen to it?

Mine has a typical slight silk sheen, but it also is not a Hober tie. So I won’t speak to the fabric you would get through Hober. I have a few POW checks, including some wools, that are fully matte. I think the pattern looks great in many iterations.

Where did you happen to get yours if you don't mind me asking?

Kent Wang. It’s a lined 6-fold. It was a gift to me from a friend for being the best man in his wedding. My lined 6-folds from Hober are superior.

New madder with big-ass paisleys.
It's 9cm but I think I might prefer something like 8.5 for my next one.
