New Easy to Wear Plaid Bow Ties

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.

Cursor & Thread x Fluevog Shoes Collaboration

One side features a lace pattern they used this season on a Derby Swirl Boot, while the other side boasts John's handwritten messages from the soles of many past families of Fluevog footwear.

It should be said that while the Shin-Koiwa will receive a near unlimited amount of positive attention, its numbers are severely limited.
