Did you check out the indigo linen that he has (2nd from the top in the picture) then?
Such a beautiful fabric.

I've included this side-by-side comparison with a very similar tie from Borrelli (also untipped, but with a very light partial lining in a four-fold construction). This clearly demonstrates Hober's superior craftsmanship on the hand-rolled edges. I know I probably sound like a Hober shill on here sometimes, but I think the work speaks for itself.

Sweet, although I believe these photos actually rise to the level of closet Appreciation. Great arrangement.

I'd say that Voxsartoria has something for every occasion, but that would be an understatement. He has five or six things for every occasion, with another to spare in case those five or six get dirty.
