After a brief hiatus, our friends at Streaker Sports are officially back and better than ever. Their collection still includes the awesome shorts that we’ve come to know and love over the past few years, along with some new additions to the lineup that are absolutely fantastic. One of our favorites is a collaboration with Mitchell Bat Co. that they’ve dubbed the “All-American.”
We’ve been fans of the Collared Greens Quad Bows for quite some time now. So much so that they’ve been featured on Bowtie Friday on more than one occasion. Well, a new version of the Quad recently hit the proverbial shelves, and it may be our favorite yet. This week’s Bowtie Friday pick is the USA Quad Bow.
Happy National Seersucker Day, friends! If you haven’t broken out your favorite seersucker pieces yet, today is certainly the time to do it. While we won’t be going all out with a suit like the ladies and gentlemen on capital hill, we will be donning some white and blue. Our pick for the day is the Horizontal Stripe Seersucker Shirt from Brooks Brothers.
Our buddies down at Country Club Prep never cease to amaze us. Not only have they become the premier online shop for all things preppy, they’ve also opened a handful of retail locations that are equally as awesome. On top of that, they’ve built one heck of a house brand. Our favorite part of said house brand is the belt collection. There’s always a new one that catches our eye, and this season is their Woven Cotton Leather Tab Belt.
A few weeks back, Vineyard Vines asked if we’d be interested in styling a look for their new #TieOneOnTuesday campaign. Of course we were game, and a few days later a tie arrived on our doorstep. Of course, we assumed we’d be receiving one of their classic vibrant themed ties that we all know and love, so we had a pretty good idea of where we were going to go with this challenge. That all changed when we opened the box and found their Fishbone Woven Tie.
Unfortunately, we’re yet to make it to the beach this year, and we’ve only been out on the water a couple of times. Of course, that doesn’t mean we won’t be ready when the chance to break away for a few days of fun in the sun arises. When the time comes, a pair of Gingham Swim Trunks from Southern Tide will definitely be along for the ride.
If there’s a time of year that anything goes in the world of bowties, it’s right now. You can wear any crazy silk pattern you want, break out cotton without a second thought, and if you’ve been on the fence about reversible bow, now’s the time to give one a whirl. One that we really like this season is the Murray Madras Reversible Bow from High Cotton Ties.
With Father’s Day only a few weeks away, the time to start thinking about a gift for your pops is right now. Don’t phone this one in, gentlemen. Whenever we need a good gift for someone, we head straight to Huckberry. Their collection is ever changing and always fantastic. Today we’re happy to announce that one lucky Bowties & Boatshoes reader is going to win their choice of one of today’s five featured Huckberry products to give to their dad for Father’s Day this year.
We normally do our best to wait a few weeks between posts about items from the same company, but, sometimes we have to throw our unwritten rules to the wind. See, the guys down at Criquet Shirts are killing it lately, and there is no way we could wait a few weeks to talk about the latest addition to their collection. Just yesterday, the unveiled their Gingham Button Down.
As much as we like to suit up, tie on a bowtie, and break out our Sunday best, there is something just as satisfying about pulling on a comfortable pair of jeans and our favorite t-shirt. This time of year, jeans can be tough when temperatures begin to rise, but we may have found a little bit of a solution to that problem thanks to Bonobos. Take a look at their new Summer Weight Jeans.
