A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

[Pliny]

I've been slowly rebooting my tie collection with Hobers and I'm not sure what I should order next.
This is what I've ordered so far.
-red grenadine fina
-forest green grenadine Grossa
-royal blue diamond weave
-burgundy cashmere
-navy grenadine fina
-bottle green on midnight blue pindot grenadine
-bitter chocolate grenadine fina
-dark purple grenadine fina
-purple English pin dot
-off white in blue stripe grenadine
I was thinking either some wool challis or a madder for the fall & winter, any suggestions?

Please post lots! I'm thinking about ordering one myself.

Absolutely, sir. As soon as they get to me (a few weeks, I suspect) and iPhone quality, but I still will do so.

What does "neat" mean?

Small, repeating designs, usually printed, though they can be woven too.

Examples:

My burgundy grenadine prometeo arrived today, vastly exceeding my high expectations. Will try to post photos tomorrow.

Does anyone have any photos of a Macclesfield printed silk scarf?

Also, why can't the Macclesfield silk necktie options be made up as scarves instead?

Has anyone ordered any of the Hobers in a shade of pink? Need to coordinate my tie with my wife's outfit for a daytime wedding and looking for any recommendations.

Thanks

Matching your tie color with your partners outfit color, I think that's a little too obvious and too much. I would consider a little more discrete matching instead, by chosing a PS that picks up the color of her outfit.
A general recomendation...Order fabric samples to ensure you get the right color. My experience is that the color displayed on the website differs quite alot compared to real life.

I'm a big fan of matching a lapel flower. It's discreet and tasteful imo.

How is the burgundey grenadine? On the website, the color looks almost brown. Is it actually more of a traditional burgundy?

It is a traditional burgundy (I have the swatch kit).

I can only speak for the Prometeo burgundy - which is certainly a traditional burgundy/wine colour. Sorry for the horrendous photo but here's mine. The colour is fairly accurate but slightly richer IRL, this photo doesn't do it justice.

I have the burgundy Garza Grossa. I've always thought of it as a blend of purple, red, and a touch of brown.

 

[Mr. Pink]

I'm wearing mine today. It's a traditional burgundy. Very rich shade.

Thanks for the pictures. Looks like a must have.
