Diplomatic Ties 368: Sam Hober
Love this tie. Fully handmade in a 6-fold construction with no tipping and handrolled edges. The fabric is a silk/cashmere grossa grenadine that gives it a very unique feel, and the grossa grenadine gives it depth in colour. The Sam Hober tie is worn with a suit from Caruso, Zegna Couture shirt, A43 ps and Carmina shoes. Click on the headline for more pics.

Diplomatic Ties 365: Attolini
Keeping the old Arnys (pre-Berluti) Saint-Germain-des-Prés spirit alive, by way of Dirnelli. Showing that the French can do tweed as well as anybody else.
