Green Machine
On Thursday, March 17, folks all across the United States will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

For those whose festivities are delayed until Happy Hour, you can show your affinity and get a little lucky with one of our great neckties or bow ties! From “Horseshoe Heaven” to one of our more traditional options, we’re sure to have you look your best.
Calling All Snowbirds!
Blue Skies, Sunny Days
For those lucky enough to avoid the cold weather in favor of that fine Florida sun, look no further than Bird Dog Bay when looking to match your mood or the season. It doesn’t matter if you spend your mornings wrangling tarpon and marlins or playing 18 holes: come dinnertime at the club, we’ll have you look your best with one of our tropical neckties or bow ties. A little more casual? Then try one of our great pairs of socks, guaranteed to get the conversation going no matter the setting.
Finally, if enjoying yourself in The Sunshine State this winter, keep an eye out for us as we hit the road! Alongside stops in the Keys, Boca, Delray, and more, we’ll also be at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, FL beginning March 9th-20th. See you soon!
It’s Open Season For Spring 2016!
Pick of the Litter
Available today online and in stores, Bird Dog Bay’s Spring 2016 collection!
This season, we are proud to introduce our first collection of printed silk neckties and bow ties, all handmade in America. Illustrated by our founder, Steve Mayer, this exciting development sees us bring our neckwear production stateside with dozens of new whimsical and traditional patterns.
Alongside this massive development, we are excited for the release of our inaugural Pedigree Collection. The Pedigree Collection features neckties and bow ties composed of English woven silk alongside cufflinks, socks, and more, aimed at the more traditional gentleman.
Finally, to match our new neckwear is our seasonal run of Italian-milled dress shirts. Designed by Steve to complement those offerings, each shirt is composed of 100% Egyptian combed cotton and woven in a third generation Italian mill. Featuring posted buttons with either a button-down or spread collar, each shirt can be dressed up or down with ease.
