WOW!  What colors are those?

In no particular order:

Olive Grossa
Slate Grossa
Bitter Chocolate Grossa
Forest Green Fina
Burgundy Prometeo

Thanks again to David for his great work.

That burgundy seems pretty bright in color. I hope it is deeper and more brownish for more versatility.

Those are absolutely gorgeous. The olive grossa is especially interesting. I believe this is the first picture I've seen of one.

That burgundy seems pretty bright in color. I hope it is deeper and more brownish for more versatility.

I do not own the burgundy prometeo, but judging by that picture, it does seem significantly lighter than the burgundy fina. The website pictures indicate this as well. Still, a nice looking color.

I am anxiously awaiting the new striped grenadines as well as the restocks that David said are due at the end of June. I will promptly be placing my next order then, which will include my first 7-fold: unlined/untipped navy fina.

This thread is making my wallet weep, all these pictures are absolutely stunning. I wonder, does anyone have one of the Plaid #8 in action? I am in need of a wedding tie, and it strikes me as the most fitting!

I think these are all Plaid #8 from earlier in the thread.

I am fortunate to have funds for a few more ties. I ordered three new ones, which will round out my collection for the foreseen time.

Burgundy Grenadine Fina Silk Tie #3
Charcoal Gray/Silver Grenadine Silk Tie #21
Powder Blue Grenadine Fina Silk Tie #15

I only own a navy suit, charcoal suit, brown plaid jacket, and navy blazer so my tie selection is pretty limited. I'm most excited about the Charcoal Gray/Silver Grenadine. I could have really used that one two weekends ago.

Thank you very much! They look a tad too shiny for my taste to be honest, would love for them to be mixed with some wool, or maybe hopsack quality. I'll consider it though, the tie itself looks to be great quality!

i must say, one of the many great things about the hobers, is that tie such a consistently great knot.

This aspect alone has spoiled me. In fact, the tie I am wearing today is not a Hober and when I tied it up this morning I found myself thinking that the knot was ok...but it ain't a Hober knot.
