We’re going to try something a little different this weekend. We spend so much time giving our opinion on things, but we want to hear yours as well. If this thing takes off, we’ll try to do it more often. If not, hey, no worries, we’ll just get back up on our soap box. We all know that Weejuns are a staple in just about every preppy wardrobe, but how do you feel about some of the new additions to their lineup?

From stripes, to dots, to prints, our bowtie collection certainly runs the gamut, and as the seasons begin to change our choice in ties does as well. With cool weather soon approaching, it’s a foregone conclusion that more plaid bows will start working their way into rotation. One that will certainly see some wear from us this Fall is the Pisgah Bow from Collared Greens.

Just like our seersucker, we will soon be putting away the summer weight chinos. We’ll miss them dearly, along with the weather, but there is something nice about unpacking a few pairs of cords that haven’t seen the light of day for six months or so. For the last couple of years, our go to place for casual corduroy pants has been Canvas Lands’ End, and odds are we’ll probably be picking up another pair or two of their 5-Pocket Straight Fit Cords before seasons end.

Pretty soon (not yet, rules be damned) we’ll be packing up our seersucker for the season, and breaking out the Fall collection. One piece that we think everyone should have for this time of year is a versatile tweed blazer, and recently we came across one that will make a fantastic addition to just about any wardrobe. It’s the Belgrave Tweed Blazer by Jack Wills.

We’re pretty picky about our boatshoes around here, and, for the most part, we’ve stuck with a handful of brands for as long as we can remember. Well, after hearing about them for quite some time, we are happy to report that another brand is now in our rotation. Just last week, we were finally able to get our hands on a pair of Yachtsman boatshoes from Category 5.

Over the years, we’ve seen some pretty interesting attempts at keeping kegs cold at tailgates. Most of the time, those attempts ended with a wet trashcan, huge puddles, and beer that was only semi-cold for most of the festivities. Well, thanks to the team at Yeti, there is now a solution for this age old problem. Take a look at the latest addition to their lineup, the Tank 85.

Though some may scoff at the idea of dressing up for a football game, those of us who have spent some time on campuses down South know that there is something special about putting on your Saturday best to cheer on your favorite team. Shoot, even though we aren’t going to be on campus tomorrow, we’ll still be wearing our favorite gameday apparel to celebrate the arrival of our favorite season. This week, our Bowtie Friday pick is an entire collection, one that has a tie for just about every college football fan we know. It’s the Southern Stripes collection from Brier & Moss.

Today may as well be a holiday for us. Even though our favorite teams don’t kick off their seasons until Saturday, we’ll be locked in front of the tv this evening watching every play like it’s the National Championship. For a night like tonight, the go to hell pants and stiff drinks are staying put away. Tonight’s a jeans, t-shirt, and cold beer type of night, and the t-shirt of choice will probably come from the college collection of a brand our friends down at Country Club Prep introduced us to, One 10 Threads.

For the most part, we were anti-visor up until a few years ago. There were just too many people turning them around, or hanging them from rear view mirrors never to be worn, for us to join the party. Well, with the influx of tour inspired visors hitting the market over the last few years, we’ve slowly worked them into our rotation on the golf course and for the occasional warm weather tailgate. For either activiy, you really can’t go wrong with a Gameday Golf Visor from State Traditions.

Over the years, we’ve been fortunate enough to team up with some absolutely fantastic brands for giveaways, and one that has always been extremely generous is Smathers & Branson. From key fobs, to belts, to hats, we’ve given away just about everything in their lineup that a guy could want. Our first S&B giveaway was a collegiate needlepoint belt, and now, nearly two years later, we’re happy to announce we’re giving another one away.
