The lovely Girl on the Wing collaborated with a wonderful stockist of ours, O's Clothes to produce an excellent Valentine's Gift Guide that includes one of our bow ties! Beyond that, they've chosen some excellent gear for your special someone(s).
We can't confirm, nor deny that David Crosby wore a Cursor & Thread Bow Tie on a particular street in Soho recently - but we can deny that Bing Crosby wore one of our ties while on stage with Stills and Nash in the late 90s. The Crosby Woven Dot Chambray Bow Tie is one of our best of the season. The fabric is of a quality that you can recognize immediately, and like most of our bow ties you can dress it up or down as needed. Made in Canada, The Crosby Bow Tie is a self tie model, but comes tied with an adjuster, if you want to wear it as is, immediately. Just know that every time...
Some of the first new cotton bow ties to launch this season were two very easy to wear plaids by the fine folks at Cursor & Thread. While being very different from each other, these two handsome handmade adornments have a fair amount in common: they both employ very complimentary hues from their own palette, and they're both very understated for plaids. The Camden Bow Tie has some wonderful blues, but is very subtle in the patterns of those blues, while the Monck Bow Tie may not shy away from the orange, but does embrace it with an almost creamy yellow - which kind of makes us think of a creamsicle. As always, these are made in Canada by people...
We have been waiting to launch our Cursor & Thread braces (or suspenders) since we last longed for the return of the chocolate Slurpee, but the wait is now over. No sooner did we finish a small run of Dublin Braces in blue stripe and black stripe, than they were reserved and are now in select Cursor & Thread Stockists including Gravity Pope, WALRUS, Victory, Still Life and Outlooks. The great thing about these Dublin Braces in particular is that they're a combo clip, meaning you can fasten them with the included clips, or with the included leather straps and buttons. Add a pair to your rotation, and good people will appreciate the look.
We have been spoilt this year, and it's not even Christmas yet. We were so thankful to be included in gift guides from The Georgia Straight, The Westender, Momentum Magazine, BC Living, Vitamin Daily, Global TV, CITY TV, Beatroute, The Huffington Post and CTV this Wednesday. And those are the ones we know about. Thanks very much to all the writers and researchers for including us, we were beside ourselves (which is where we usually are).
