We’re pretty big fans of chambray shirts. From super lightweight options in the Summer, to heavier choices in the Fall and Winter, we wear them all year round. Until now, all of the chambray shirts in our rotation have either been a shade of blue or red, none had a pattern. That’s all about to change thanks to the Plaid Chambray Shirt from L.L. Bean Signature.

If you are planning on celebrating St. Patrick’s Day next Monday, the time to start thinking about what to wear is now. Yes, we realize a week in advance might be a bit of overkill, but you don’t want to be the guy wearing the wrinkled green t-shirt that’s been shoved in the back of your drawer since your scramble to find something to wear last year. Thanks to our friends at Smathers & Branson, two lucky Bows & Boats readers definitely aren’t going to be left wondering what to wear next Monday.

Gents, one of our favorite shirts is currently on sale, and if you don’t have it in your stable, now’s the time to buy. The shirt in question is the Long Sleeve Players Shirt from our friends at Criquet. Through Monday, you can save $20 off of one with the code SINGLE and $50 off of two with the code DOUBLE. Our first post on these shirts went live back in November of 2012*, and they’ve been a cool weather staple for us ever since.

Before long we’ll be breaking our cotton bowties out of hibernation. It’s been a long winter, and while we enjoy a great looking wool bow as much as the next guy, it’s time for them to be put away for a few months. Our Bowtie Friday pick this week is Southern Proper‘s first foray into the world of cotton ties, take a look at their recently released Madras Plaid Beaus.

At the end of the day, if we had to pick just one seersucker look for all eternity, it would without a doubt be the classic blue and white stripe. That being said, we absolutely love when brands break away from the classic look, and offer seersucker with a bit of a twist. That just what Brooks Brothers is doing with their Over-Dyed Seersucker Pants.

Last night we finally got to do something we’ve been waiting to do for quite some time, sit down and watch the Orioles play the Yankees. Sure, it is only Spring Training and half of the Opening Day lineup didn’t make the trip, but when our beloved Birds take on the Evil Empire, we’ll be watching. With baseball season just around the bend, we’d been inspired to add a new baseball shirt to our rotation, and we found it just a couple of days ago. It’s the Charged Cotton Tri-Blend 3/4 Sleeve T-Shirt from Under Armour.

Yesterday we went live with a feature about a Bonobos sweepstakes a bit too early. We’ll be reposting when things are official, but, in the meantime, we’re going to keep the Bonobos love going. Over the last few years, Bonobos has become our go to for Go to Hell pants, but also a number of other things. In fact, you could put quite the Fat Tuesday look from their collection.

Guys, does your work wardrobe need an upgrade? If so, you’re going to want to get in on Bonobos‘ latest sweepstakes right away. It’s rare that we’ll dedicate an entire feature to a contest we’re not involved in, but this one is too stout to ignore.

Once again, we find ourselves staring outside at a sea of bright white snow that Mother Nature decided to deposit here in Maryland. While a little bit of snow from time to time is fine, we’re 100% over it this year. It’s only a matter of time until we get to break out our boatshoes, and when we do we’re going with some bold color courtesy of the latest collaboration from Sperry Top-Sider and Barneys New York.

It was one of those weeks for us, one that has left us enjoying the weekend a bit more than usual. With nothing too pressing on the schedule, it’s going to be a jeans and t-shirts couple of days, and we couldn’t be more happy about it. To round out the casual look, we may pick up something that we’ve never had in our wardrobe, a varsity jacket. American Giant just released their take on this iconic piece, and we’re intrigued to say the least.
