Chicago (Collective) Bound!

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Lazyjack Press

Show season is upon us!

We will be going to Chicago Collective this year and are so excited! We are finishing up last minute preps before we trek to Chicago Friday night.

The show will take place from February 2^nd through the 4^th at the Merchandise Mart. We’ll be in booth 8-3050a, so if you’re in town, stop by and say hi!

Also, if you have any recommendations for food/drinks/fun, let us know! We’ve never been, but can’t wait to see all that Chicago has to offer! And hopefully, it'll warm up a tadddd more!

Cheers!

 

You Motorboatin' SOB!

Posted on January 27, 2014 by Lazyjack Press

 

 

We love “Wedding Crashers” – who doesn't? And that's why we named one of our ties Motorboatin'. You motorboatin' son of a bitch!

Many friends and clients gave our “Motorboatin” tie as gifts this holiday season - bow ties and straight ties alike. One of these gift-givers was my mother, who was more than a little surprised to find out the tie’s true pedigree! But then she loved its cheeky hidden meaning and proceeded to ask her friends if they knew what “motorboatin'” means.

Take a look at the infamous clip from "Wedding Crashers" – enjoy!

Badass Bespoke Ties

Posted on January 09, 2014 by Lazyjack Press

You know those wedding pictures. All the guys lined up on a beach, on a boat, or in front of the country club. All wearing big ol' khakis, all wearing adorable, Korean-sourced whale ties. But that's not you, right? Printed motif ties are great, don't get us wrong - we make them. We just do it damn well. Our ties have attitude, and the quality can't be beat. They're printed on Hermés silk (21 momme, to be precise) and handmade in Italy by the best factory in the business.

And here's the thing: we'll work with you to design custom ties for your wedding, fraternity, charity, club, you name it. When we say we'll work with you, we mean it. We treat our clients like family, and we won't rest until you have what you love. Our minimums are low, our quality is the highest, and the cost of a custom collection is a lot more reasonable than you might think. So shoot us a line, and let's have some fun!

2014 New Year's Resolutions

Posted on January 02, 2014 by Lazyjack Press

The numbers are pretty bad: 8% of people who make New Year's resolutions follow through. Let's double down this year. Let's make sure we're not lumped in with 92% of the population who end 2014 just as chubby, disorganized, and financially irresponsible as they started. Whatever your resolution, make it a reasonable one and stick to it. January is bleak, but look at it like a blank white page. Fill it up with  daily acts that make your life measurably better, and then do that again in February. Let's hit 2014 hard, guys. Let's cross the bridge from "just getting by" to "owning it."

Happy New Year! 

New Year, New Bloody Mary!

Posted on December 31, 2013 by Lazyjack Press

Our good friend Amanda alerted us of Buzzfeed’s article on ways to take the bloody mary to the next level! I think we have a solid recipe (check our earlier blog articles!) and we love to play around with the fixins’, but some of these suggestions really tickled our fancy! Hello bloody mary jello shots, popsicles and drinking out of meat straws to name a few examples. We’re definitely in and can’t wait to put some of these ideas to good use on January 1st!

We wish you all a happy and safe New Year’s!
