For us, the fact that the baseball season is kicking off in Australia this year is odd to say the least. Yes, we realize that baseball is an international sport, but there is just something about America’s Pastime opening up anywhere but here that rubs us the wrong way. Regardless, we’re pretty excited that the season is here, and now it’s time to break out the MLB Canvas Club Belts from Vineyard Vines. The feature below originally ran on March 31, 2011.

Over the course of just a few years, the gentlemen down at Lumina Clothing have gone from a line of ties to an entire collection of wares that exudes a cool Southern style with just a bit of a modern twist. Today’s Bowtie Friday pick is a bow that we think epitomizes the vibe of Lumina to a T. It’s their Washington bow.

A few weeks back we got a note from a gentleman named Ted introducing us to his company, York River Traders, and specifically a belt of theirs that he thought we might like. Well, Ted was dead on, the York River Mariner Rope Belts are right up our alley, and we can’t wait to work a couple of them into our warm weather rotation.

As the days continue to get longer we are enjoying every extra minute of sunlight. If you are in the same boat, and have been on the hunt for a new pair of shades that are a bit different, yet not too far off the deep end, Warby Parker has a number of frames that fit the bill perfectly. Their styles are fantastic, and the price is tough to beat. One silhouette that we really like is the Beckett.

We took a quick straw poll of some friends and have found that quarter zips are far more polarizing than we could have ever imagined. We wear them year round, and there are a few new options that recently hit the market that we’d love to add to our rotation. At the top of that list is the Cardigan Stitch Quarter Zip from Peter Millar.

With St. Patrick’s Day falling on a Monday this year, we got all of our celebrating taken care of this weekend. Sure, we’ll still probably sip on a Guiness or some Irish Whiskey tonight, but, for the most part, it’ll be a relatively low key affair. Of course, we’re still breaking out our favorite green gingham shirts for the occasion. If you are lacking green in your gingham collection, or you just need some more, the Steinbeck from Mizzen + Main is the perfect pick.

With the tournament just around the corner, the bracketologists are coming out of the woodwork left and right. We’re going to do what we always do and wing it. We’ve found that we perform far better when we don’t try to pretend we know about teams that he had never heard of until they won an obscure conference tournament. All that said, if your favorite team is going to the dance, you have to show your true colors. A great way to do just that is with a pair of Gameday Dockers. The line originally launched about six months ago, and has since grown to include ten more schools (for a total of 20), and even shorts.

A couple of months ago we were proud to announce our first collaboration with our friends at Krass & Co. Round two is currently in the works, but if you missed out on the first release, and can’t wait any longer for a pair of Krass & Co. shorts with a bowtie theme, today is your lucky day. One lucky reader is going to win a pair of the just released Stay Classy shorts from Krass & Co.’s Spring line, and everyone is going to be able to save 15% on their orders for the next week.

Friends, today is the last day to save an extra 50% during Jack Spade‘s “secret” sale. There are some fantastic deals to be had, and if you’ve got some extra change laying around, today might be the day to spend it. It took quite a while, but we’ve narrowed our wish list down to five, take a look.

Almost one year ago to the day we featured the Runwell from Shinola, a brand that was doing their best to play a part in the revitalization of Detroit. Well, here we are a year later than they have absolutely made their mark on the Motor City. They’ve also expanded their lineup of fantastic timepieces to include a Runwell Chrono that we’ve found ourselves gawking over pretty frequently as of late.
