Christmas Down South – Day 5 – Dogwood Black

Every time a bow tie is tied, an angel gets its wings. So today, we bow tie. Dogwood Black, formerly known as Southern Ties, went live on November 1st. Still calling Fredericksburg, Virginia home, their biggest change was to become a greater reflection of who they are. “We don’t really take ourselves too seriously, but we still demand excellence and want to build something more meaningful than a larger bottom line. We wanted every facet to reflect our beliefs and while we’re not quite where we want to be yet, we think we’re on the right path.” In addition to bows, they’ve also added shirting as a response to issues they personally had with quality and price.

Want to win this box of bows? Leave a comment on this post letting us know your favorite Christmas movie. The winner, who will be chosen at random on December 21st, will get the Camo, Candy Cane, and Tartan bow ties.

*THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED – CONGRATULATIONS TO MITCH STAUTS  FOR WINNING!*

Either Elf or Christmas Story. Christmas Story is a classic and you can’t beat the humor of Elf. Both great movies to enjoy.

Alex Miller - December 20, 2012 - 2:41 PM

My favorite is The Homecoming: A Christmas Story. It’s old but if you haven’t seen it, go watch it! It’s a classic and I’m surprised no one else has posted it yet.

Sean C. - December 15, 2012 - 1:33 AM

My all time favorite.. that’s a hard call, but I’m gonna have to go with “A Christmas Story” classic and nothing is better than Christmas Eve when TBS plays 24 hours of “A Christmas Story”

Home Alone is the best movie and I could watch it over and over again.

A Wish For Wings That Work immediately followed by Christmas Vacation. My parents recorded these on the same VHS and it was our tradition to watch it every Christmas Eve. I was older than I care to admit before I realized Opus and Bill were not a built-in intro to the Griswolds.

Daniel Axtell - December 14, 2012 - 12:20 PM

Jingle All the Way! Arnold!
