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.
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.

Please grant me an “indulgence” through one of your terrific bow ties!

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,
I love your bows!

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.

Very nice bow ties. Please enter me in the drawing.

Those bow ties and ascots do look rather nice.

Thanks

As an avid bow tie fan, I think this is fabulous. Beautiful!
Jack C.
Awesome bow ties!!! Have wished some from the start and this chance would serve well for a soldier on a budget..
Danny-O
There’s nothing sweeter than a free bowtie. Though at your reasonable prices, I may have to pony up even if I don’t win the contest.
Steve
I love bowties and your’s look very nice. Can you make them long enough for someone with a 19" neck?
WKGarrett
Awesome! I’m a “trad” who STILL hasn’t tried his first bow tie. Let’s see what happens!
Scott
I think it would be great to have a bow tie. I’ve always wanted one!
DCLawyer
Glad to see so many people excited about this! I’ll add my name though I don’t know what I’d do with yet another bow tie!
CL
Awsome, I want a paisley one!

Hey Ellie. I would love to have a free bow tie.

Rcvd the 2 Christmas conversions yesterday in the mail, great job – will be in touch!
Good idea re:contest giveaway!
Eric
I’ll put my name in the hat for a free bow tie. And you can add an obligatory religious joke here.
Amy Kulbok
Wow! The competition is stiff!
Ashley Coble

Tim
I am predestined to win the bow tie!
Jeff
A free bow tie is just what I need to push me over the fence of wanting to try one.
Great idea, cool site, and sweet ties,
Jeff
Andy
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.
NSH
Count me in!
Brian
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.
James McManus
Would love to have another bowtie to add to the collection … thanks for doing this!
Bill Marsh
Just started wearing them in the past 18 months. Actually preached in one this summer for the first time. Will wear yours on business in Columbia if I win!
Ted Jones
If the Lord causes me to win this will be my first bow tie – I have been looking forward to getting a bow tie and this might be his provision. Thanks for posting this!
Evan Kurtz
Just in time for the work Halloween party! Thanks for the Luther idea!
Percy Chatsworth
A fop and a dandy are sitting in a bar, and they see a bow-tie walking towards them….
Bow Tie Guy
Hope I win!
AlanC
I can nail a list of 95 reasons why I should win the free bow tie to your door…
Chas Evans
What a great idea!
Tom B.
ELS: Your linen bow elicits compliments wherever. Win or lose, I’ll be back for more.
Gavin
Bowtie me!
Justin
This is so very nice of you. Thank you! I hope I win
Rob Bauer
We are doing bow-tie Wednesday’s for chapel and have been in need of getting one-I like the entrepreneur tie.
David
I only have one bowtie so far, I’m sure I could do with another!
Katherine
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”.
Heath
Tim Pollock made me do this. And I know who Gorden Gee is. I once sat in his Jaguar.
Rich Edwards
Ready to win.
St. Fu
I’ll use this spot to also say I am hoping for a few subdued buty Holiday friendly bowties soon.
JD Evans
A fan of the plan! And interested in conversions…
Tim
That picture of Andy is classic.
Can’t wait to wear my new bowtie…
Ian
The perfect thing to irk pedantic relatives at Thanksgiving dinner.
Joe
I am now a bow-tie purist. An addition to my collection from your collection would be greatly appreciated!
Andy
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.
brianlhoward
Sounds like a great idea! Count me in : )
Patrick Sullivan
Men’s style has devolved to the point where a bow tie is the ultimate anti-Establishment item.
Rachel
i have a brother in law that would LOVE this.
Craig
Count me in for this. Also, I urge you to do more diamond point bowties. Thank you!
Chris Sharp
Great promotion. Wish you the best.
Mark
I’m in. I’ve been looking to get a bowtie to round out the wardrobe a bit, and this seems like a fantastic opportunity.
Joe Jackson
Beautiful work! My wife was just asking about Christmas gift ideas. Now I have something to tell her.
Josh
Chelsey, I understand that Chrstian’s boss wears bowties.
An original Ellie Stager would be sweet to have.
Mr. Spiff
I’d love one! I’ve been admiring your wares for quite some time now, but have not yet taken the plunge. What a great idea—and what a great opportunity!
David
I’m definitely in. Fingers crossed!
Speas
Oooh. Count me in. Reformation Day bowtie. Perfect for this crusty Calvinist.
HOM
Don’t know how I hold with this reformation day stuff, but I’ll throw my hat in for a free bowtie!
Simon Smith
I’ve never worn a bowtie, but I think I’d look even more dapper than normal. :)
Dr. Timm
I’m a 3rd generation bow tie wearer. Now if I could just convince my 13 year old they are cool…
kimberlysummer
Bow ties, Bow ties, I want to win a bow tie. Sorry, it is late.
Brian Green
I’m deffinitely in
kimberlysummer
Bowties, bowties, I want to win a bowtie!

I would like for noting more than my first bow tie to be made by you and you alone. Cheers to keeping real American craft alive.
Sean
I would love a bow-tie….I would even do a first, teach my high school government classes in it.
Conor
I’ll certainly throw my hat in this ring.
Kathy D
My sisters son would look great in a bow tie…..
kristen
i promise to find the bow tie a good home in birmingham!
Kelly Sims
Sounds fun! Kyle has just started wearing bowties again, so another one would be great! :)
Paul Keysar
I’ve never attempted to wear a bow tie, but that has everything to do with not knowing how to tie one. I’d love a chance to learn. Love your stuff, do you also make neck ties?
Justin
Pretty please?
GP_Thomas
Yes, Please!
Chelsey
I’ll enter to win one for Christian… he isn’t sure he can pull it off, but I think he can!
Edward
I’m not doing any crazy shaving stuff this year, either – but I’ve love a bow-tie!
