Our 12 Gauge Boxer Sets are the Perfect Present!
Don’t Get Boxed Out
We’ve gotten a lot of kind words from our customers about our goods over the years, but our boxers seem to be real front-runner favorites. We’re not sure if it’s their whimsical, hand-drawn patterns, or their comfortable, covered elastic waistband, or the one of a kind seamless back – the one thing we do know is they have a tendency to sell out!
Our 12 gauge gift sets combine two great boxers in an equally eye-catching gift package. Heck, some people use the 12 gauge tube as much as the boxers themselves! We’ve seen some great ones, including desk organizer, golf ball caddy, sunglasses slot, and many more.
Questions? Comments? Have some 12 gauge packaging ideas of your own? Give us a call at (312) 631-3108 or drop us a line at customerservice@birddogbay.com – we’re happy to hear from you!

Introducing Our Fly Lapel Pins
Lookin’ Fly!
For our tenth anniversary in the Fall of 2016, Steve knew he had to bring something new to the table. But what? Bird Dog Bay had been growing quite a bit the past few years and he had rolled out everything from boxers, to socks, to dress shirts, to a new Pedigree line, to lounge pants, to sporting caps…You get the idea. After a lot of research and development, Steve stumbled upon his old notes for the Fly Links. It was an instant inspiration; what better to bring into a line celebrating ten years of business than something inspired from one of his original ideas? The Fly Lapel Pin was born, and with it, Steve’s feather in the cap of a decade of Bird Dog Bay (side note, these pins are actually not made with feathers, but squirrel tail!)
These beauties were developed with the utmost empasis on authenticity, and each pin is handmade using true to life fly construction (there’s that squirrel tail again) with nickel plated hardware. Their first field test at a recent dance-heavy wedding proved they are both more durable than they look, and have the magical ability to reel in compliments after some really terrible rug-cutting.
Happy shopping! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to throw us a line. We can be reached at (312) 631-3108 or at customerservice@birddogbay.com

Bird Calls: MacFarlane English Woven Pedigree
Pond Hopper
When Steve’s grandfather Roland MacFarlane Clarkson came over to the U.S. from Greenock, Scotland, he brought more than his clan’s knack for embellished storytelling and tall tales. The family tartan made it across the Atlantic, as well, and for our tenth anniversary we wanted to celebrate our heritage by paying homage to the great man himself. Much like Grandpa Clarkson, our pedigree ties are born in the United Kingdom – woven in a centuries old English mill that ol’ Roland himself probably had a few ties from.
Our MacFarlane ties are available as neckties and bows, and look great with a classic solid shirt (we like the Wellington in particular). Buying a gift? Need advice or suggestions to complete a look? Give us a call at (312) 631-3108 or shoot us an email at customerservice@birddogbay.com”
Talking Turkey
Giving Thanks
Gobble ’til you wobble! We have the perfect turkey themed dry goods for your Thanksgiving. Want to go long at the family football game and look good doing it? Try our Turkey Trot socks. Need to add a subtle touch to your luncheon look? Go for our Turkey Time linen pocket square. Want to do some father-son matching? You got it! All of our men’s ties are available as boys ties, so you don’t have to ruffle any feathers. Toppling into tryptophan time? Slip on our lounge pants for some football watching and sheep counting in your favorite chair.
Happy early Thanksgiving from all of us here at Bird Dog Bay. And yes, of course we were able to eat some of that delicious fruit cake, had quite a bit actually! But please, please take the rest home.
