Ever had trouble tying a bow tie? I often get asked how to tie bow ties by folks whilst out and about at local stalls and markets. It seems with mainstream men’s labels now fazing out the self-tie bow tie, this life skill that was once pasted down the generations to sons by their fathers is being lost.

We understand, it can be pretty tricky figuring it all out on your own, and some of the tutorials and online guides out there aren’t really helpful, more often than not confusing the matter even more. Though never fail! We’ve found an easy-to-follow illustrated guide by the dapper folk over at The Art of Manliness. A couple of attempts using these steps, and you’ll be tying perfect bows in no time.

All of our bow ties over at the online shop are self-tie bow ties, though they come pre-tied when we send them with adjustable clips for those not so adventurous. Why not un-tie that baby and give these steps a whirl! #SayNO to Pre-Tied Bow Ties!

Also, if video demonstrations work for you, here is a YouTube guide I found way back that is rather helpful.

Good Luck!

What could you want more than Gelato on a warm Summer’s day after getting married? We couldn’t think of a cooler idea than having you’re own Gelato truck on offer for guests after a hot Western Australian Summer wedding, so when Amanda contacted us about being apart of this Style Shoot involving Chicho Gelato we jumped at the opportunity of collaborating with some of WA’s wedding folk!

Thanks all of you who came out and visited us at The Beaufort Street Festival last weekend! We had a cracker of a time meeting new friends, eating lots of delicious food & selling our goods over in the Pasaro Stalls near Ace Pizza and the Luxe Bar.

If you saw our custom made-to-measure suit and are interested in more info, click here, or if you didn’t get a chance to pick up yourself a set of our new brass collar stays for only $15, you can grab them online here.

You can check out a whole bunch of official pictures that were taken on the day over at The Beaufort Street Festival FB page, though here’s some sneaky snaps taken at our stall on the day.

Stay tuned for where we’ll set up shop next!

Nash explains that, “Since guys primarily use moisturiser after sun and after shaving, we want that sense of hydration.” He goes on to say, “a lot of men’s products have menthols and alcohol, but they are irritants and dry out the skin and are fighting the role of the moisturiser. So I replaced that,” and boy are we happy about that! Within their moisturise particularly is Jojoba and Horopito, a plant sourced from a company called Forest Herbs, which claims it to be 65-million-years-old. As well as this the Polynesian antioxidant Tamanu within the Ritual Cleanser is used by locals for everything under the sun and is known to be good at reducing scars.

Dion got the name Triumph & Disaster from Rudyard Kipling’s famous poem, “If”, which his father gave him when he was 13 years old. “Years later I found it and hung it in my office,” he says. “One day I looked up and saw the words ‘triumph and disaster.’ The actual line is, ‘if you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostor just the same.’ If you have a bit of success don’t let it get to your head and if your have failure don’t let it overcome you. And in the last line of the poem it says, ‘you’ll be a man my son.’ It tied in so nice with the grooming aesthetic I was trying to create for guys.” So whether you’re a self-taught shaver, or you Dad lended you a hand in those defining teenage years, Nash says, “I felt that guys want to have grooming on their own terms. Then from shaving you can extend it out.”

Triumph & Disaster products are available online, as well as at a number of locations in, Australia, New Zealand, and the US. Here are some products within their range…
