Win a Free Bow Tie!

The winner of this giveaway will win a bow tie of his choice or a free neck tie to bow tie conversion.

I've had it in my mind that I would give away a bow tie in conjunction with Reformation Day for a while now.  We used to have Reformation Day parties and my husband would dress as Martin Luther and shave a tonsure in his head - which resulted in a very cold shaved-head November.  This year, since he has a real job, he's decided to not be so  bold with his costuming and thus, we will celebrate with a bow tie giveaway.

The contest is open to everyone - all you have to do is comment on this page.  Also, you can get an extra chance to win by signing up for my new 
MAILING LIST.  I will use this list to send periodic updates when I add new bow ties to the store or decide to do specials.  I promise not to spam you like crazy - I'm really not into that.

babyblue4

I will close commenting at midnight on October 30th and announce the randomly selected winner on Monday, November 2nd.  Are you excited?  I am.  

Please announce this give-away on your forums, blogs, facebook and twitter so that we can spread the word about great, quality, handmade bow ties!  Your support in this endeavor is what helps me to price my bow ties so reasonably.  It is a community effort for sure.

So, let the games begin... Good luck.

Thanks for the opportunity. I bought two vintage bows today and two a week ago tomorrow. There may be quite a few in my box of bows. I try to wear them all from time to time. I have wool ties but not a wool bow. That is an interesting idea.

Good fortune on your concern.

Ellie-

It’s been great to see how well your bow tie business is going. The patchwork seersucker bow you made for me this summer is still the most popular of my collection.

AlanC,

Nice! That might merit a bow tie apart from this drawing, especially if it’s written in Latin and exudes sound (or at least Reformation-sounding) theology.

Here in Fargo ND people don’t know what to make of a 40 year old with a shaved head and earring wearing a self tie bow tie. Heck, they don’t seem to understand that there are such a thing as bow ties one has to tie.

Dr. B. has worn bow ties ever since we dated, back in the last decade…some of his favorites are his grandfathers…and I have a sweet picture of Dr.B. teaching my youngest brother how to tie one on back when Mr. M. was a wee lad of 14. For us, it’s the memories, or as Ellie recently wrote, the love, that makes wearing a bow tie an “experience”.

Well said, Patrick. That’s precisely what to love about bow ties. (And ascots!)

By the way, technically (since this is a Reformation Day drawing) the winner will have won not on the basis of chance or luck, but because of Divine Providence of the most benevolent sort.
