My go-to gift for CW is often a bowtie. Even if I need a little something extra to go with a gift for him, I can always rest assured that a bowtie is something that he will use and love! He works at a fine men's clothing store several days a week and is always looking for interesting and new bowties to wear to work. I've purchased from Southern Proper, High Cotton Ties, and many other smaller companies before. I love smaller companies because each one is unique and has its own neat story, and usually the products are made with much more care than larger-scale manufactured products. And the customer service with these companies is always unbeatable.
Naturally, I was ecstatic to find a few new companies today while perusing Tumblr posts.
Graves Cox & Company, a custom clothing store out of Kentucky, carries a variety of fine menswear and accessories, including bowties by R. Hanauer like the ones pictured below:
I love this aqua and coral combination.
Wouldn't the pink and green match nicely with Lilly shifts?
Next up is the Briggs Adams Bow by Pierrepont Hicks.
I love bowties that can be tied in different ways to reveal different patterns and textures, and this bowtie is no exception.
In June, they will have bowtie belts available! How nice would this look with a button-down and khakis? Quite a different look:
Pierrepont Hicks has full-length ties, bowties, clips, and as previously mentioned, bowtie belts available in June.
Finally, we have J. Press. Check out this lovely Raw Silk Stripe bowtie:
I think this would look nice with a blue seersucker suit.
J. Press has so many stripe, critter and pattern color combinations to choose from. This may be where CW's next bowtie comes from! A number of dress shirts, polos, suits, pants, etc. are also available from J. Press and their prices are comparable to most other companies.
What are some other companies that you know of that sell bowties and other menswear items?
