A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

Cross-posted from the Friday Challenge thread. Green is a bit lighter IRL.

Does anyone have any pictures of Macclesfield #117 in real life? Thinking of getting this for Summer and do not want to wait for swatches, but I'm thrown for a loop a little bit by the "reddish purple" description of color.

I don't have that one but now that you have turned my attention to it and David has restocked his diamond weaves and has some new oxford weaves I may have to include it in a new order...

Today's Hober is the english geometric silk #21 (3-fold construction). Photo is a little washed out as the blue is a touch brighter/darker IRL.

I ended up ordering swatches today. 116 and 117 looked too different between my phone, home computer and work computer to pull the trigger.

Burgundy pin dot in action today.

Looking at the picture, I'm realizing I should have posted a close-up. Here it is:

Looks great! I have the same tie in brown with sky blue dots. Really like it.

Recently placed my next order with David. Forest Green rough thai silk and a burgundy madder twill.

Dark red grossa. Finally figured out how to get some detail of the weave in an iphone photo. Needed to face the window on a brighter day.

New Shoes1 and scurvy - great ties! I don't have either one...I am getting closer and closer to another order...

I have both but this thread is making me draw the same conclusion. Now I just need to wait for the diamond weave swatches to arrive.

Today's Hober is the pattern silk #19 (3-fold construction).

Light blue with yellow pin dots today

What's the difference between the "reppe solid silk" and "twill madder solid silk"? Both seem to have a diagonal twill texture. I'm thinking I'll have to get a navy twill as my first 7-fold sometime.

Can't wait to see the new oxford weaves, David! Please get them posted soon!
