Mallard Mates

Every spring collection, Steve illustrates and colors at least one design that is especially suited for Valentine’s Day. Introducing Downward Duck in Fuchsia – a perfect combination of whimsical and detail, featuring one of our favorite lovebirds – the (mostly) monogamous mallard on a beautiful fuchsia background.

Don’t be afraid of getting pigeonholed though, this versatile shade also works beautifully throughout the spring and summer, pairing nicely with a grey jacket (matching the body plumage) and white shirt (tail feathers and neck ring).

Interested in bagging one of these beauties? Just order $100 or more, and we’ll include one automatically – simple as that.

As always if you have any questions give us a ring at (312) 631-3108 or at customerservice@birddogbay.com

Pretty in Pink

We’re not saying we know any more about the secrets to love or Valentine’s Day than anyone else – but we do know a thing or two about ties. The thing we know for sure? They are the best way to show off personality – whether you’re single and looking to attract a little attention (we like Fox in the Hen House and Birds and the Bees) or you’re buying for that special someone to show you care (we like to sort by “Themes & Design” to find that thoughtful present).

If you’re not sure what the best gift is, or want help finding just the right thing, get in touch with us at (312) 631-3108 or at customerservice@birddogbay.com. We’re also happy to include a special message with your gift, just let us know at checkout, and we can take care of the rest.

We Put the ‘Hit’ in ‘Hitched’!

Over the past decade we’re proud to have been a part of so many weddings. Now, we’re excited to introduce our program for custom wedding ties and showcase our best-selling groomsmen gifts. Click here to take a look!

We know there’s a lot of work that goes into the big day, and we’re here to make it a little easier – heck, we’ll even tie the bow ties for you!

Give us a ring (pun intended) at (312) 631-3108 or reach out at weddings@birddogbay.com to get in touch with your personal wedding coordinator. Congrats! We look forward to hearing from you.

You’ll Get A Kick Out Of ‘Em!

We’re not saying we’re the best at foot puns, or sock puns, or…puns really. We are saying we are the best at crafting your favorite socks. Our heroic hosiery is carefully loomed with pima cotton, a little bit of nylon, and a dash of spandex, for serious softness and lasting durability. These socks are made for walkin’!

We’re working hard on our new spring collection, and can’t wait to show you what’s in store. Keep your eyes peeled in the next few weeks for sneak peaks, exclusive offers, and more from us here at Man’s Best Friend.

Happy shopping, and as always, don’t hesitate to give us a ring at (312) 631-3108 or shoot us an email at customerservice@birddogbay.com

A Perfect Pairing

We’ve heard you loud and clear, and have restocked, and added new shirt and tie gift sets! We’ve taken a lot of your requests, and listed our best sellers from 2016, so you can find your favorite for the new year! As always, Steve handpicks the ties that he envisioned while designing the shirts, which means the colors match perfectly, and the neckwear illustrations complement the shirting pattern.

Don’t see a set you want? No problem! Give us a call at (312) 631-3108 or drop us a line at customer service.com and we can work out your custom set.

 

What’s Downrange for Us in 2017

In 2016 we celebrated our ten year anniversary, and we couldn’t have done it without our dedicated fans – thank you! Now we are looking forward to year 11, and with it, the largest and most exciting collection ever.

We’ll be dropping some hints and sneak peeks in upcoming emails, so keep your eyes peeled for new patterns and goods, all illustrated by our founder Steve.

We’re working hard through the new year to bring you never seen before handmade sophisticated whimsy, and hope you enjoy the new collection as much as we enjoy creating it. Have a happy new year, and we’ll see you in ’17!

Back in Black

It’s a little unusual for us to do solid colors – heck, stripes were a stretch for us. However, our solid, 100% silk cummerbund is one of our absolute best sellers and makes for a great partner with our signature whimsical bows. It’s a classic for a reason, but this old dog can learn some new tricks, and turns out, plays very nice with others!

Almost all of Steve’s designs feature black in there somewhere, whether it is a bold part of the pattern itself, or, in the outline – the filetto – of the illustration. This makes for a perfect pairing nearly every time, even for folks that may struggle sartorially. So go ahead, pick up this black cummerbund, and then find the most colorful bow tie you can – we bet they’ll go together like Man and his Best Friend!

As always, we’re here to help! Give us a call at (312) 631-3108 or drop us a line at customerservice@birddogbay.com

Good Tidings to You…

This year we celebrated our ten-year anniversary as a company, and we can’t thank you enough for your support. When Steve started illustrating in 2006, it was just neckties, and it was just a few friends and family that knew of the brand. We’ve come a long way since then, and our great fans have been there for us every step of the way.

We’re excited to show you what we have coming for 2017, but for now enjoy this time with your loved ones, and we wish you the very best.

From all of us here at Bird Dog Bay – have a wonderful holiday season, and a very happy new year.

Handmade American

Hello partridge in a pear tree – there’s some new gifts in town! Our handmade, 100% 18 momme silk neckwear and carefully crafted cufflinks go together like two turtle doves.

Our founder and sole illustrator Steve Mayer, carefully hand draws each pattern, and these form our sophisticated whimsy, found on boxers, socks, lounge pants, caps, cufflinks, keychains and…well you get the idea. Our neckwear is made here in the USA, and printed by hand on our top-quality silk. The silk is then carefully cut along the bias (no twisting or bunching with our ties) and sewn to create goods that stand a cut above the rest.

Our classic cufflinks are the perfect match to our neckwear, we use the same 18 momme silk as our neckwear for a look that is spot on! Each pair is handcrafted in our Chicago studio and packaged in a custom wooden box engraved with our logo.

So move over French hens, our American made neckwear and cufflinks are here for the holidays. As always, don’t be shy about buying for your guy! We want to hear from you, so drop us a line at (312) 631-3108 or at customerservice@birddogbay.com with any questions, comments, or thoughts.
