Pierrepont Hicks’ Hatteras Bowtie is an obvious break from the traditional black-tie-only goods. The seersucker/sky blue plaid bowtie is hand-finished in the garment district of NYC and is […]

Vintage-inspired design...modernized

The Crayton shoe by Jeffery Campbell is a vintage-inspired design modernized with a distinguished mix of leather and canvas.
