Just an FYI, the Chipp grenadines are the Garza Fina material (the alternative being Garza Grossa). That's neither meant to add nor detract, it's just something you should be aware of, because there is definitely a difference between the two.

Hober has a really good guide showing close-ups of the 4 types of grenadine weaves:

As diversification pointed out, fina and grossa are by far the 2 most common.

I love the idea of grenadine ties, but am still to be baptized --- are there any B&M places that would have fina and grossa that I would take a look at in person? I'm in NYC so I should be able to make most places easily. I'd go to Sid Mashburn if I were in ATL, as I love his ties and he has some great colors available (in grossa and fina):

Try Brioni or Lanvin first. I know both make high quality grenadine ties.

You can also just call up Paul Winston and ask him to bring some of the Chipp grenadines to his tailoring shop in midtown. (I stopped by once and he doesn't usually keep them in the store.) It's easy to order samples from Sam Hober too if you want to feel them at home without any sales pressure.
