Sewmanity Loves: RDJ!

Saw Sherlock Holmes last night and I now think I have a tweed fetish. Jude Law and RDJ worked well together and had chemistry. But loved, loved his Holmes' study and of course, his well worn cravat!

New Etsy Stuff!


Hey all,

I've got new pieces on Etsy. This time I've entered the foray of stickpins! Well, actually, they've always been included with the "Ogden Style" cravats I sell, but now you can get them on their own.


I've also added new Ascot designs. My fav is the one pictured above. Though called the "Reilly Style", this particular colorway is dedicated to Mr. Daniel Craig because the colors remind me of the opening credits to Casino Royal.


Cheers!

Sneak Peek: Pins

Hey all, a sneak peek of a line of lapel/cravat pins I'm launching this week. All are hand made by me with mostly vintage, one-of-a-kind findings.

Cheers!

Ascots back?

On Friday's episode of Ugly Betty character Daniel Meade wore an ascot through most of the whole show and was approved by Marc, who is now his new assistant. I see a trend coming back!

Move over Charles Nelson Reilly! Straight men are reclaiming the ascot back!

P.S. Love aubergine on actor Eric Mabius...

New stuff in the store!



Hello All!

As promised. I've added three new pieces to the Etsy store. The two leather Ascots are dedicated to Martin Fry, the lead singer of ABC. The uber gold one is dubbed "Poison Arrow" (Mr. Fry wears a gold lame' suit in the video) and the mostly black ascot is dubbed "The Night You Murdered Love", uber dramatic, nest pas?

I also listed a teal strip (Smyth Style) today cause I've had this one made for a while now, but for some reason, always forget to list it.

Anyhoo, look for new stuff, maybe before the end of the week!

Best,
Sewmanity.

A quick look at our packaging


But, here's a pic of our packaging. Each cravat is wrapped in tissue and issued a Sewmanity wax seal for authenticity. Then it's all put in a clear celo-bag for protection with a thank you/care card for shipping.

As you can see, each cravat is a gift to be cherished and enjoyed!

Best,
Sewmanity

Where our motto comes from...


Don't know why I didn't post this first.

Enjoy!

"Fry" collection?


Greetings!

A sneak peek at the two leather cravats I'm working on. One is a FAB gold lame' type with a beautiful watermark, the other is a "metalli-cised" (I might have just made that word up) black leather which looks great peeking in and out of the shadows.

Expect to see them this coming week with the new style ascot I'm introducing.

Best,
Sewmanity

"I care enough to know I can never love you"


I dedicate this first post to Martin Fry of ABC. The man who taught us a gold lame' suit was acceptable. I think even before Morrissey was known for his open to the navel lame' shirts.

In honor of Mr. Fry, keep your eye out for a new and unique cravat next week in the Etsy store!

Cheers to you Martin Fry!
