Some of The Cordial Churchman's customers are prefer traditional, understated bow ties, if there is such a thing. You're already wearing a piece of fabric wrapped around your neck, tied---yes---into the shape of a bow. Sometimes that's enough.

But sometimes you figure that since you're already doing all of that, you might as well go all out. When this jolt of confidence and impulse toward sartorial abandon strikes, you need to have one of The Cordial Churchman's one-of-a-kind reversible bow ties ready to rock.

Ellie has taken some quirky patterns and tamed them a bit by pairing them with classic patterns in complementary colors. As you can see, there are a number of ways to twist and turn a reversible bow tie.

Hot Air Balloons and Stripes

French Horns and Tartan Plaid

Charcoal Grills and Geometry

Donkeys and Stripes

Chicks, Flowers and Stripes

Bugs and Stripes (for one of you pediatricians, perhaps?)

These are heading to the STORE next week, but they are available to you, loyal blog readers, immediately. Email ellielaveer@gmail.com and snatch up the one you want. There's only one of each. No pussyfooting. Then again, the kind of gentleman who wears a bow tie like this is not likely to be the pussyfooting sort.
