Are you a bow tie guy?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I get such funny emails.
Here’s one, regarding a recent item on the newly formed Atlanta Bow Tie Society.
Dear Social Butterfly:
While skimming through the AJC last week I noted your bit about bow ties and the recommendation of Beau Ties of Vermont. I have purchased bow ties from Beau Ties, but they are, after all, Yankee bow ties. There are a few Southern alternatives. R. Hanauer in Fort Mill, S.C. - www.bowties.com is a great source, as is Ben Silver in Charleston www.bensilver.com. Right here in Atlanta is Southern Proper www.southernproper.com, another excellent source.
Regards,
J. P.
My response:
Oh thank goodness. You know it pains me to say anything nice about anything happening north of Richmond, but after all Southerners are known for our manners.
S.B.
(Just kidding, y’all.)
I also heard from John Yauger - his friends called him Bud back in the day. He and his wife just a new company, Bud’s Bows. Stay tuned for their new Web site, but I’m told their items are currently available at Miller Brothers and the Children’s Shop at Peachtree Battle.
Any other bow tie guys out there? Where do you shop?
And if you’re wearing one today send me a photo: butterfly@ajc.com.
Mr. Yauger sent this one of his son Sam, 4:
