A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

^ Weird. In the second pic I see so much dark blue -- almost purple. Must be the lighting. Regardless, gorgeous tie!

Thanks, I like it very much also. You are right about the light though... the brown and blue can play games with your eyes. Makes it a little more interesting I think.

I just received my Hober bitter chocolate grenadine garza grossa and white linen pocket square. Love 'em.

DBCooper,

What was the construction on your tie? 4 fold or 6 fold, lined or unlined?

Standard 4-fold construction. I think there's some lining too, but I didn't specify anything unusual in that regard.

I think we all recieved our ties this week. I have the same tie and love it. I also purchased. Silk Tie #20
Navy Blue & Powder Blue Hounds Tooth. Quite powerful.

PS. Linen swatch set available should anyone want it.

Here's the black garza fina I received with the bitter chocolate garza grossa.

Hey there,

I have three sets of swatches I'm offering up for free. One per person. US only. And please promise to forward on to another good home once you're done with them.

1) "New - Macclesfield Silk Print" -- I think there are 20 in the set; pics are not yet up on samhober.com.
2) Diamond Weave silk
3) Random grab bag -- I have about 20 assorted swatches, between 2 and 4 in the following categories: pin dot grenadine, cotton, linen, wool challis, cashmere, grenadine grossa.

PM if you're interested. I'll drop them in the mail tomorrow.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Definitely my next Hober. Thanks for the inspiration!

Been wanting this tie every since I saw this post last year. Finally got it last week, after a long delay due to out-of-stock fabric. Well worth the wait! Thanks, David!
