'My grandfathers both dressed to impress no matter where they were going. I was always taught to "look your best because you never know who you may run into" and to "dress for the job you want, not the one you have."

It feels great to know that I can express myself and my personality through my style without having to say a word. First impressions are everything! Although they worked blue collar jobs, they went to work looking like success! Suspenders, suit, ties, and hats were always a necessity for my grandfathers especially with their Sundays best outfits.

My favorite ties are the vintage ones from my grandfathers and I incorporate them into my personal style often.  It feels great to know that I can express feelings, personality, and keep the family tradition of style alive through my clothing without having to say a word. First impressions are everything!'
