If you are a Bowties & Boatshoes fan on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter, you already know that in addition to his “real job”, and helping run Bows & Boats,  one of our co-founders, Ben Meredith, also founded Starboard Clothing Co. On Monday, we talked about our love for bowties, and how it doesn’t matter if they come from a company that has been around for hundreds of years, or one that is just starting out.  Starboard is the perfect example of young company that is turning out high quality bowties.  With an extremely reasonable price ($35), you can’t go wrong with any of their offerings.

Every bowtie that Starboard sells is handmade on a vintage Singer sewing machine, right here in the Annapolis area.  With fabric choices ranging from seersucker, to madras, to flannel, and even a tweed, there are ties for all seasons available, and more are coming to market in the very near future. You don’t want to miss out on any new patterns, so make sure you become a fan on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

Starboard ties are made in extremely small batches, and once the initial run is gone, there is a good chance that the design will never be made again.  So, if you see something that catches your eye, act fast or they may be gone for good before you come back to place your order.  The small batches also guarantee that, most likely, you are going to be the only one in the room rocking a Starboard tie (or atleast one that looks exactly like it).
