I know what you’re thinking. A tie? For Father’s Day?

Let’s face it. Some dads are traditional. They don’t want a feng shui office makeover, a paraffin wax hand treatment, laser hair removal, or a man bag.

Bird Dog Bay makes fabulous, fun silk ties featuring traditional designs and more funky lines tied to nature featuring feathered and furry creatures, from toucans to one of my favorites, dog park. Need a tie for next year’s Kentucky Derby? Try this one. I also love the political debate Poll Position tie and the Adirondack Afternoon pattern.

Actually, you’d be hard-pressed not to find a tie for your favorite guy at Bird Dog Bay, based in Chicago.

Be sure to check out Bird Dog Bay’s Gus Happens page where you can see what general misadventures the resident dog and Bird Dog Bay mascot has been up to (and what he’s been gnawing on).
