Whenever we are on the water we make sure to use some sort of sunglasses retainer, and, for the most part, we use them even when our plans don’t involve H2O.  Our friends aren’t quite as diligent, and at least twice a summer someone ends up “donating” a pair of sunglasses to the river, bay, or ocean.  There are a ton of great options out there to keep your sunglasses secure, but one company has managed to set themselves apart from the crowd with their seersucker and gingham “Sunglass Complements.” ($14)  That company is Tugs, and in an effort to save some helpless sunglasses from an untimely demise, we’re happy to announce that they are going send one of their signature products to a lucky Bows & Boats reader.

A nice departure from the standard neoprene retainers that have cornered the market for years, Tugs manage to bring two staples of the preppy wardrobe, classic striped seersucker and a basic gingham, to a place they have never been seen before.  There are currently ten seersucker options, and three gingham options, in the Tugs lineup.  Whether you are looking for something for everyday wear, or just an occasional pop, there is definitely a pair for you.  Our winner will receive their choice of any in stock pair of Tugs, and we’ll be accepting entries until 11:59PM EST on Tuesday, July 3.  If you can’t wait until the 4th of July to find out if you are the winner, use the code “bowtiesboatshoes1” to save $3.00 on any Tugs purchase.
