“a certain quiet primness of dress” [MUSG]
 |
| "Doyle" from Beau Ties Ltd. |
For the last 26 years, Beau Ties Ltd. has been a Vermont-based U.S. manufacturer of bow ties. And sometimes we see glimpses of Sherlock Holmes coming through.
Because we're bow tie fanciers and astute observers of things, we decided to chat with an executive from Beau Ties Ltd. to understand their thinking. So we sat down with Cy Tall, President of Beau Ties Ltd.
From her choice of college major to her consulting career, Cy's decisions eventually led her to this fascinating industry. She tells us about how the team gets its inspiration for tie names, how clubs can work with Beau Ties to get their own custom ties, how the conversion service (convert your neck tie to a bow tie) came about, how the company has accommodated more than just men with its products, and more.
We also have a special Beau Ties Ltd. discount for IHOSE listeners: just use the code HOLMES15 at checkout from January 15-30, 2020 and you'll enjoy 15 percent off your order.
Also, tune in for the latest Canonical Couplet. We have another opportunity for you to win a prize in this episode.
