Happy Bowtie Friday, friends! This week we’re teamed up with our friends at Bull + Moose to give one lucky reader $50 to spend however they see fit over at BullandMoose.com. Whether you pick up a couple of the bows that we’ve featured over the last few months (Olive Seersucker, Floral, Blue Chambray, Duncan Wool, Camo), or maybe a bow and a pocket square, you really can’t go wrong.

When it comes to shirts, Ledbury is one of our absolute favorite brands. Not only do they do the classics extremely well, they constantly offer choices that are far different than anything on the market via their Short Run collection. The latest addition to the Short Run lineup to catch our eye is the Berkeley Dot.

While we may not be complete history buffs, we’ve definitely been known to nerd out over the past a time or two. Recently, Southern Proper released a line of hats that celebrate three things that we’ve absolutely spent more time than we probably should have researching; SEC Football, Bourbon, and the Masters.

We normally reserve our bowtie posts for Fridays, but today’s feature item just couldn’t wait. We knew it was coming down the pipeline, but when Ken Rosenthal announced yesterday that he would be wearing a BowTie Cause bow supporting the LUNGevity Foundation this week, we wanted to get something out about the bow ASAP.

We’re always up for a new adventure, and for those that take place outdoors L.L. Bean is one of our first stops to gear up. Though function is our top priority, we’ll be the first to admit that looks do come in to play at least a little bit when we are picking our wares. Luckily, a number of L.L. Bean classics have been given the L.L. Bean Signature treatment over the last few years, and their recently released Washed Twill Field Shirt is one that we were happy to see get said Signature makeover.

Many brands do their best to add pieces to their collection that have a bit of a vintage feel to them, but few are successful every single time. One that has absolutely hit the nail on the head when it comes to a vintage aesthetic across the board is Criquet. You already know about their Players Shirts, but have you seen the hats they’ve released over the last couple of months?
Image: High Cotton Ties
Happy August, friends! Time has absolutely flown by this year, and before we know it we’ll be packing up our summer bows and breaking out the wool. In the meantime, we’re going to be making a conscious effort to wear as many of our favorite cotton bows as possible, and maybe add a new tie or two to the rotation so we’re all set when next Summer roles around. One bow that’s really caught our attention recently is the Pimm’s Paisley Reversible from High Cotton Ties.
Image: Bonobos
We love gingham, have been into florals as of late, and definitely love statement pieces. That said, we’re on the fence about the Red Floral Gingham Americano Dress Shirt from Bonobos. What do y’all think? Would you wear it? Leave us a comment, or shoot us a note via Twitter or Facebook, and let us know.

Every year we say we’re completely done with board shorts, and every year we stumble across a pair or two that we actually really like. That was definitely the case when we were checking out some of Sperry Top-Sider’s latest offerings. Their Seersucker Board Shorts are certainly a pair that we’d sport proudly.
Image: Country Club Prep
Without question, one of our favorite logos out there is Longshanks, the fox our friends at Country Club Prep use to mark their territory. It’s tough for an animal logo stick out in a crowded marketplace, but with a madras coat Longshanks does just that. Recently, the gents down in Atlanta decided it was time for their favorite fox to make an appearance on a line of polos.
