New Ties Coming Soon!

We're getting excited about our knit ties for fall.  Repurposed wool balled and ready for use.


Jamie's been working on a couple ties, including this one, in a lovely soft gray


We're also really liking the bandana bow ties (which pair nicely with champagne, we discovered!)  Keep your eye out for a couple bandana bow ties in navy blue, and maybe even red, coming to our Etsy shop soon!

Bandana Bow

Nothing says summer like a bandana or an unstuffy bow tie.  So we're stoked that this bow recently found its way to Ian, in Brooklyn, NY.




Ian sent us a picture of himself, sporting the tie on his bike commute across the Williamsburg bridge.  Nice!   



Next up for Winslow -- bandana bow ties in the traditional navy blue, or maybe red?

Blue Linen

Jamie scored this awesome blue linen last weekend.  It's similar to a chambray except for that it is woven from linen - i.e., made from flax - instead of cotton - i.e., made from, well, cotton.    (Turns out, though, that chambray was originally made from flax before folks switched to weaving it out of cotton in the 1800s.)


I can't wait to see what this fabric looks like as a bow tie.  Maybe something like this?

Available on our Etsy shop here.
