Wishing you a Happy New Year

What’s Downrange for Us in 2017

In 2016 we celebrated our ten year anniversary, and we couldn’t have done it without our dedicated fans – thank you! Now we are looking forward to year 11, and with it, the largest and most exciting collection ever.

We’ll be dropping some hints and sneak peeks in upcoming emails, so keep your eyes peeled for new patterns and goods, all illustrated by our founder Steve.

We’re working hard through the new year to bring you never seen before handmade sophisticated whimsy, and hope you enjoy the new collection as much as we enjoy creating it. Have a happy new year, and we’ll see you in ’17!

Mix and Match!

newyearblacktie17

Back in Black

It’s a little unusual for us to do solid colors – heck, stripes were a stretch for us. However, our solid, 100% silk cummerbund is one of our absolute best sellers and makes for a great partner with our signature whimsical bows. It’s a classic for a reason, but this old dog can learn some new tricks, and turns out, plays very nice with others!

Almost all of Steve’s designs feature black in there somewhere, whether it is a bold part of the pattern itself, or, in the outline – the filetto – of the illustration. This makes for a perfect pairing nearly every time, even for folks that may struggle sartorially. So go ahead, pick up this black cummerbund, and then find the most colorful bow tie you can – we bet they’ll go together like Man and his Best Friend!

Happy Holidays from Bird Dog Bay

thankyouholiday16

Good Tidings to You…

This year we celebrated our ten-year anniversary as a company, and we can’t thank you enough for your support. When Steve started illustrating in 2006, it was just neckties, and it was just a few friends and family that knew of the brand. We’ve come a long way since then, and our great fans have been there for us every step of the way.

We’re excited to show you what we have coming for 2017, but for now enjoy this time with your loved ones, and we wish you the very best.

From all of us here at Bird Dog Bay – have a wonderful holiday season, and a very happy new year.

Made in the USA

madeinusa16

Handmade American

Hello partridge in a pear tree – there’s some new gifts in town! Our handmade, 100% 18 momme silk neckwear and carefully crafted cufflinks go together like two turtle doves.

Our founder and sole illustrator Steve Mayer, carefully hand draws each pattern, and these form our sophisticated whimsy, found on boxers, socks, lounge pants, caps, cufflinks, keychains and…well you get the idea. Our neckwear is made here in the USA, and printed by hand on our top-quality silk. The silk is then carefully cut along the bias (no twisting or bunching with our ties) and sewn to create goods that stand a cut above the rest.

Our classic cufflinks are the perfect match to our neckwear, we use the same 18 momme silk as our neckwear for a look that is spot on! Each pair is handcrafted in our Chicago studio and packaged in a custom wooden box engraved with our logo.

So move over French hens, our American made neckwear and cufflinks are here for the holidays. As always, don’t be shy about buying for your guy! We want to hear from you, so drop us a line at (312) 631-3108 or at customerservice@birddogbay.com with any questions, comments, or thoughts.

Our 12 Gauge Boxer Sets are the Perfect Present!

12gaugexmas16

Don’t Get Boxed Out

We’ve gotten a lot of kind words from our customers about our goods over the years, but our boxers seem to be real front-runner favorites. We’re not sure if it’s their whimsical, hand-drawn patterns, or their comfortable, covered elastic waistband, or the one of a kind seamless back – the one thing we do know is they have a tendency to sell out!

Our 12 gauge gift sets combine two great boxers in an equally eye-catching gift package. Heck, some people use the 12 gauge tube as much as the boxers themselves! We’ve seen some great ones, including desk organizer, golf ball caddy, sunglasses slot, and many more.

Questions? Comments? Have some 12 gauge packaging ideas of your own? Give us a call at (312) 631-3108 or drop us a line at customerservice@birddogbay.com – we’re happy to hear from you!

Introducing Our Fly Lapel Pins

flylapel

Lookin’ Fly!

For our tenth anniversary in the Fall of 2016, Steve knew he had to bring something new to the table. But what? Bird Dog Bay had been growing quite a bit the past few years and he had rolled out everything from boxers, to socks, to dress shirts, to a new Pedigree line, to lounge pants, to sporting caps…You get the idea. After a lot of research and development, Steve stumbled upon his old notes for the Fly Links. It was an instant inspiration; what better to bring into a line celebrating ten years of business than something inspired from one of his original ideas? The Fly Lapel Pin was born, and with it, Steve’s feather in the cap of a decade of Bird Dog Bay (side note, these pins are actually not made with feathers, but squirrel tail!)

These beauties were developed with the utmost empasis on authenticity, and each pin is handmade using true to life fly construction (there’s that squirrel tail again) with nickel plated hardware. Their first field test at a recent dance-heavy wedding proved they are both more durable than they look, and have the magical ability to reel in compliments after some really terrible rug-cutting.

Happy shopping! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to throw us a line. We can be reached at (312) 631-3108 or at customerservice@birddogbay.com
