This week our Bowtie Friday pick is inspired by one of our favorite places West of the Mississippi. A place that we spent some time years ago, and hope to revisit sooner rather than later. That place is Yosemite, and this week’s pick is the Yosemite Tree Bow from Buffalo Jackson.

It’s no secret that we are constantly on the hunt for things that have a classic appeal with a bit of a twist. Well, we found just that when we were perusing the Allen Edmonds website recently. Part of their ongoing Webgems series, we are absolutely loving the recently released Suede Sands Penny Loafers.

Before we know it, we will once again be reaching for a light jacket as we are walking out the door each morning. Though we already have a few that we know will do the job, a recent addition to the Filson lineup will absolutely be finding it’s way into our rotation this Fall. A new take on an old favorite, we have a feeling we aren’t the only ones happy to see the Short Cruiser Jacket make its debut.

It pains us to admit it, but the time has come for us to start thinking about our Fall wardrobe. This year, we’re going to start at the bottom with a full review of our shoe lineup to see what needs some refreshing, what needs replacing, what needs to be retired, and what needs to be added. High on our list of possible additions you’ll find the recently released Clymer 2.0 from Rancourt & Company.

We do our best to feature as many brands as possible around here, and though we know full well that there are a few that pop up far more often than others, we do our best to space the features out so things don’t get too repetative. That said, every once in a while an exception needs to be made, and today is one of those days. Though we just featured their Yawgoog Point Indian Madras Shirt a couple of weeks ago, we couldn’t wait any longer to point the spotlight to the latest additions to the Kiel James Patrick lineup, Seafarer Oxfords.
For the first time in recent memory, we’ve managed to get through the bulk of Summer without donating a pair of sunglasses to the Severn, the Chesapeake, or the Atlantic. We’re sure it’s only a matter of time, but for now we’re going to enjoy the streak. This year, we’ve added a couple pairs of Polarized Premiums from Knockaround to our rotation. Even if they do end up taking a swim, we won’t be kicking ourselves too hard when it comes time to order replacements.

In the Summer, we spend a good deal of time on the Severn river which meets the Chesapeake Bay at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. There are some absolutely stunning homes on her banks, but our favorite is a former boys school that was converted to a private residence, Wroxeter. Our Bowtie Friday pick this week shares a name with this fantastic home, it’s the Wroxeter Plaid Bow by Starboard Clothing Co.

Just south of the chaos that is known as Myrtle Beach, you’ll find one of our favorite beach retreats, Pawleys Island, SC. With a laid back atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and a tavern that you’ll never want to leave, it is a fantastic place for a Summer getaway. While we won’t get to visit this year, we’ll always be in Pawleys Island state of mind when we’re wearing a pair of Pawleys Twill Shorts by Coast Apparel.

For the longest time, we absolutely refused to wear short sleeve button down shirts. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t find anything that didn’t make us look like a tourist in our own hometown, or Homer Simpson. This Summer, we’ve kept our searches going, and are happy to report there are some pretty great options out there. One of our favorites is the Short Sleeve Teal Plaid Shirt from Lumina.

The best part about Fall collections coming out so early is that many of our favorite brands are clearing out their Summer gear at prices that we just can’t say no to. In fact, Bonobos is currently offering an additional 30% off of their sale items when you use the code HEATWAVE30. Among a few other things, it means that we will be picking up a at least one more pair of Oxleys. At a shade under $34, we can’t resist. Our original feature on these fantastic pants ran on February 26th of this year.
