Feelin’ Lucky

valentineslastmin

 

We love Valentine’s Day here at Bird Dog Bay. It’s not the gluttonously consumed chocolates, the comedic oversized rose bouquets or the thorough appreciation for the guy that owns the patent on that white stuffed teddy bear holding the little I love you heart… It’s simply because we sell more red neckties than any other color, especially during the first two weeks of February.

Thanks for the efforts, St. Valentine.

So, start your evening out on the right foot this Friday by knotting up one of Bird Dog Bay’s one hundred red or pink beauties. Your special-lady will most certainly appreciate your sartorial efforts. As you most certainly will find out, our neckwear looks as good wrapped around your neck as they do tossed on your bedroom floor. Cant decide on a tie, grab that special someone a gift certificate and let them pick one out!

A New Story for Old Glory

Here at Bird Dog Bay, we pride ourselves on originality and quality. Our founder and chief creator, Steve Mayer, illustrates every collection with his trusty drafting pencil he used in our inaugural line ten years ago. In terms of quality, we pride ourselves on our use of the best mills in the world to bring you unique and durable products, ones we hope will be staples of your collection.

 

As we enter our tenth year of business, we are excited to announce the first release of neckwear made in America and England. In this latest collection, you will find handprinted silk ties crafted here in America to match neckties and bow ties woven in England. With both whimsical and traditional options, we are able to accommodate any taste or style you may have!

 

Our new collection will be here in a few weeks. As of now, Bird Dog Bay is born and bred in Chicago and made in America!

Turkey Call

turkey2015-655x1024

The Fall/Holiday collection is always an exciting one at Bird Dog Bay. Alongside featuring the bulk of our sporting themes, we’re also able to include a number of silks which work perfectly with the season. And while it seems every tie company has a Christmas tie or two, it occurred to us a few years back that not everyone offered a choice for Thanksgiving–enter our “Turkey Call” tie!

While “Turkey Call” is our latest offering, it certainly isn’t our first. For a few seasons prior to this, we offered a tie called “Turkey Trot,” featuring a tom and two hens. While a wonderful choice, we returned to the drawing board this season with “Turkey Call,” and like to think we’ve done pretty well!

Featuring a tom placed on garland, “Turkey Call” is a step and repeat pattern that is available in gold, red, and olive. Perfect for the season, “Turkey Call” is best worn with a navy blazer or your favorite tweed sport coat, and guarantees you won’t look like a turkey yourself this fall!
