USA CG Crest Bow by Collared Greens

While we frequently use bowties to add a splash of color, or just a little bit of fun, to an otherwise low key look, we also really enjoy adding relatively low key bowties to flashier selections.  This year, we think the red pants and red, white, and blue gingham shirt are going to be a pretty bold combo on the 4th, so if we end up tying on a bow it will probably be something a bit more subdued. Luckily for us, our friends at Collard Greens have a red, white, and blue bow that fits the bill perfectly.  It’s their USA CG Crest Bow.

When trying to pick the perfect shirt for our Independence Day celebration this year, we had a few criteria that it needed to fit: great looking, easily dressed up or down, and ability to be worn for more than patriotic holidays.  Believe it or not, finding a shirt that matched on all three was easier said than done.  Our pick this year is the Slim Fit Davis Starks Gingham from Ledbury.

Even though we’ve made quite the effort to work some boatshoe alternatives into our rotation this Summer, we’re going with what we know for the 4th of July.  Of course, traditional brown or tan aren’t going to cut it on Independence Day, so we’re going to go with something a bit brighter.  Our pick this year is a pair of Red, White, and Blue Burnished A/Os from Sperry Top-Sider.

Next week we get to celebrate one of our favorite holidays, Independence Day.  From huge events, to low key cookouts and a local fireworks show, we’ve celebrated the 4th of July just about every way possible, and it is always ends up being one of the days of the year.  We started laying out options for our 4th of July look this year last Friday with the Independence 2.2 Bowtie Giveaway, and we’re going to continue the trend this week with a handful of things that will be a good pick however you decide to celebrate next Thursday.  Today’s pick is a pair of Cherry Bombs from Bonobos.

With the 4th of July fast approaching, the time to start thinking about a proper bowtie for the event is now.  While the Broad Stripes and Bright Stars bow from the Social Primer by K. Cooper Ray collection is an obvious choice, we think we’ll be going with a different bow from that lineup in a couple of weeks.  In fact, one lucky reader is going to be able to do the same if they so choose.  Today we are happy to announce that we’re celebrating Bowtie Friday this week by giving away an Independence Dandy 2.2 Bow.

Last month, just outside of Charlotte, our friends at Buffalo Jackson opened the doors to their trading post.  We haven’t been able to visit just yet, but from what we hear the space is absolutely the epitome of everything the brand stands for.  We’ll get there soon enough, but in the meantime we’re just going to have to continue to order our Buffalo Jackson wares online.  Next on our list is a pair of Roosevelt shorts.
