As much as we would love to celebrate every Bowtie Friday with a giveaway, we just don’t think it’s going to be in the cards this year.  That being said, we’re going to ride the wave as long as we can, and as long as companies want to team up with bowties that we love, who are we to say no?  This week, our featured bowtie comes from Starboard Clothing*, where we just so happen to know a guy.  Today, we’re happy to be giving away one of our favorite cool weather bows, the Hobbes Plaid.

Crafted in the USA from a hefty mid-weight cotton, the Hobbes works nicely into many Fall and mild Winter looks.  Featuring a plaid made up of navy, maroon, and cream, the Hobbes Beau looks fantastic paired with a classic oxford and sweater combination, or dressed up with a starched dress shirt and blazer.  Either way, you really can’t go wrong.  For your chance to win, follow the steps below, we’ll be taking entries until 11:59 PM EST  on Thursday, January 17.  Also, from now until January 31, you can use the code BOWSANDBOATS to save 30% on all of your Starboard purchases.

You will receive an entry for each of the following:

1. Leave a comment here and let us know where you would wear your Hobbes Beau.

2. Follow @StarboardStyle and @BowsandBoats on Twitter and tweet something that mentions both of us.
