This has nothing to do with bow ties, but it’s such a fantastic idea I just had to share. SKINNYFATTIES is a new Brooklyn-based tailoring service which takes your outdated fat ties and re-sews them into trendier, skinny ties. With most new neckties costing anywhere from $40-$90, SKINNYFATTIES offers this service for only $30. Considering most second-hand stores charge about $1 for an old tie, this is the perfect solution after finding those Goodwill gems you can’t quite rock because they’re just too obnoxiously wide. Or if you’re just tight on cash and want a slick looking tie.

After mailing in your cravat, SKINNYFATTIES will reshape and restitch your tie, adjust the loop labels, iron them, roll them into metal tins to prevent creasing and reship them FREE within a week of receiving said tie.

To sweeten the deal even further, for each tie purchased and every tie tailored, a $1 donation is made to Career Gear, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that helps men transition into the workforce.

I’ve been having a lot of people writing me about the Two Guys Bow Tie Company and their Wooden Bow Ties that have been blowing up the interwebs. I tend to usually shy away from pre-tied options, however, I don’t think these really count.

The bow ties are made of the finest, hard to find wood, premium fabrics and leather straps. What I like about these which definitely set them apart are the embossed patterns on the wood which mimic various tie fabrics. Combined with the natural grain of the wood, the overall effect is very handsome and makes it look even more like real bow tie. The sizing appears to be spot on; not too big, not too small. If you’re looking for something different for your upcoming wedding, custom made options are also available.

$45–$65

Hickoree’s has quickly become one of my favorite new sites. The Brooklyn-based store offers several amazing heritage inspired brands, with items ranging from clothing, accessories, stationary and even home goods. One of my favorite pieces on the site is this great Herringbone Gingham Check Bow Tie from The Hill-side (who subsequently have a fantastic how-to video on their site). Made in the USA with fabric from Japan, this is basically everything I’m looking for a in a bow tie right now.
