We’re pretty big technology junkies here at Bowties & Boatshoes. From phones, to tablets, to computers, Apple products tend to dominate our selections, and the amount of white cords littering our workspace is a bit ridiculous. In an effort to clean things up, and add some life to the office, we’re placing an order for some Collective Cables from Eastern Collective.

In our opinion, one of the best bowties in the Brooks Brothers by Social Primer collection was the camouflage and repp stripe option. It seems that we weren’t the only ones to feel this way as the bow seemed to sell out in no time flat each time a new shipment hit stores. If you liked the camo option as much as we did, we think you’ll love the latest Social Primer by K. Cooper Ray collection; Prep Neck. Today, we’re happy to announce that someone is going to win their choice of bow from the lineup.

Until now, other than one black pair that saw a grand total of one wear, the only color to grace our denim rotation has been blue. With so much color in our closet, it was only a matter of time until we added some variety to our jeans, and it looks like the time is now. Our pick to break the ice is a pair of 628 5-Pocket Colored Denim Jeans from Canvas Lands’ End.

This month, our friends at Ledbury are doing a little something different with their short run. Instead of the monthly drop, they are releasing one new limited item every day. We’re not even a third of the way through the month, and there are already a handful of shirts we’d love to have in our collection. Yesterday’s release, the Graham Flannel Plaid, is at the top of the list.

In the matter of a couple of hours, Fall arrived here in Annapolis yesterday. We went from sunny skies and temperatures in the mid 80’s to grey skies and low 60’s before we knew what was happening. With no choice but to finally embrace the chill, we’re going full bore with breaking out the Fall wardrobe this week, and along with the clothes it’s time to break out the Fall footwear as well. We’ve already talked about one pair of boots that will be added to the rotation this year, and today we’re featuring another; the Gold Cup Bellingham Chukka by Sperry Top-Sider.

This Fall we’re finally adding something to our wardrobe that is a staple piece for many this time of year, a henley. It’s not that we’ve intentionally avoided them for all these years, but there’s just never been one that we had to have. That all changed when we saw the Mohegan Henley from our friends at Mizzen + Main.

Every Fall we look forward to one of the few events that turns golf from an individual sport to a team effort. This year, the event is the President’s Cup, and it looks like things at Muirfield are going to be neck and neck all weekend long. To show our support for Team USA, we’re breaking out a couple of Classic Stripe Players Shirts from Criquet.

Three decades ago, Martin Dingman launched a company. No, it wasn’t the one that makes the fantastic leather goods his name has become synonymous with, it was a tie company called Rainbow Neckwear. Well, thirty years later Dingman, decided it was time to get back to his roots, and he set out to once again put his touch on the neckwear industry. The result is a fantastic lineup of ties that were recently released as part of the Martin Dingman Countrywear Collection. Today we’re happy to announce that one lucky reader is going to win their choice of a Martin Dingman bowtie!

Earlier this year we featured a new addition to the Jack Donnelly lineup called the Carters. At that point, they were set to be a limited run that would only be a part of the collection for a limited time. Apparently, we weren’t the only people that loved them, because the Carters are back this Fall in four new colors.

As we slowly, and begrudgingly, begin to transition our boatshoes out of heavy rotation for the season, classic penny loafers seem to be taking their place more times than not. We’ve been on the hunt for a new pair that can pull double duty at the office and out on the town, and it looks like we may have just gotten lucky. Turns out the Beaumont Penny Loafer by Sid Mashburn was recently restocked.
