Last year, thanks to Ben getting lucky in the practice round ticket lottery, we were fortunate enough to get the chance to experience The Masters first hand.  From the time we stepped through the gates we knew we were in for something that we would never forget.  Augusta National is one of those places that looks like heaven when you see it on TV and it’s even better in person.  To officially kick off Masters week here at Bowties & Boatshoes, today we’re looking at some of our favorite things that you can only find at Augusta National.

Masters week is finally here!  This week, we’ll be using our favorite tournament of the year as the inspiration for our features.  That means lots of green and yellow, and a couple of surprises along the way.  With Tiger looking like the Tiger of old, Phil being Phil, and Bubba coming out to defend his title, we have a feeling it is going to be one heck of a week down in Augusta.

As much as we love the Orioles, the odds of you seeing us in a jersey are pretty slim.  For the most part we prefer more low key ways to show our allegiance to the black and orange, and we were pleasantly surprised when our friends at Smathers & Branson took the wraps off of the latest additions to their lineup.  Yes, Smathers & Branson now has officially licensed MLB accessories.

Lately we’ve realized that we need to make some additions to our denim collection.  Over the last few years, it seems that we’ve slowly eliminated a number of the lighter washes that we once had, but that is all about to change.  There are literally thousands of options out there, but we’re going to keep it simple and pick up a pair of straight leg vintage light wash jeans from Bonobos this time around.

When brands of different generations work together on projects it seems that end result tends to alienate one of, if not both of the, generations that make up the demographics that they reach.  Luckily, in the world of prep, classics and simple twists on classics seem to be well received by generations young and old.  Needless to say, the recent Kiel James Patrick collection for Brooks Brothers is definitely one of the best collaborations of young and old that we have ever seen.  One of our favorite pieces of the line is the BB#1 Braided Belt.

Ever since Warby Parker turned the eyewear world upside down by offering great looking glasses at extremely affordable prices directly to consumers others have been trying to replicate their success across other mediums.  Some have had some solid success of their own, others have faltered a bit, and we’re sure there are a number of companies waiting in the wings for their big break.  One company that seems to be following the Warby Parker model just so happens to be able to list one of the guys behind Warby Parker as a co-founder.  It’s called Harry’s and they make some great shaving products.

Thanks to the internet we’ve learned about some absolutely fantastic boatshoes over the years. That being said, sometimes there is nothing better than hitting the pavement and going hunting through the shelves of local retailers. That’s exactly what we did this weekend, and boy are we happy we did. From a local discount store comes what might be the best pair of boatshoes in our collection.
