The Bow Tie
As dress codes have become more and more casual, style conscious men have been seeking ways to accessorize without wearing the previous mandatory look.
Enter the bow tie……. casual yet can be a tad dressy.

I know of no better catalog or website than Beau Ties Ltd to find a complete selection of bow ties. The quintessential rags to riches story - begun on a kitchen table in Vermont by Bill Kenerson & Deb Venman and now, 18 years and 100,000 customers later, the go-to retailer for bow ties. Give the website a visit!
I have always been partial to the lines you don’t find in department stores and big box stores. There’s something about these lines; perhaps its knowing they don’t kowtow to the big boys….. or that the products are a true reflection of the owner’s tastes….. it’s also knowing that in many cases the owners have staked their financial future on the success of the line…. and that more often than not the products are Made in the USA like our own clothing. Therefore, I decided to list a few of my favorite makers as a not so subtle suggestion you patronage their business. Have a Happy Summer and don’t forget to visit American Suit Store!
Two women who know the South… and the proper way to dress men with style.
Styled with Coastal Carolina in mind…. quality and comfort at the forefront.
One of my favorite stories, this company began in the spare rooms of the owner’s house and is now a preeminent bow tie maker
After owning a pair of WWII surplus khakis in college Bill decided contemporary America needed a khaki that was comparable to what our fathers wore….. today we have Bill’s Khakis.
I have known Marty Dingman for 25 years and can honestly say no one is more committed to producing quality products.
Maybe the biggest character in the business, it’s worth the stop at his farm in Tennessee to meet the man. High quality leathers!
It’s great to see another family owned apparel company, whose base is fine men’s specialty stores. Headquartered in one of the more civilized cities in America; Charleston.
