Y’all didn’t think the rebrand meant we aren’t into bow ties anymore, right?

We’re not going to lie to you, it takes a lot for a bow tie company to impress these days. I mean, let’s be honest, there’s about a million of them. When dcoybrand reached out to us, however, we were impressed. Their neckties, bow ties, and pocket squares are made with vintage fabrics sourced from various spots in America. The bows have wooden buttons for size adjustments. Most of all, we loved how each design was part of a small batch. The one they kindly sent us, The Terrence, is only 1 of 8 produced.

And then it arrived, and it became hands down the best packaging of any product we’ve ever seen. The icing on the cake? They’re based in New Orleans. Geaux figure.

Hunter Monsour, founder of dcoybrand, told us that the brand was inspired by his grandfather. “He was so incredibly Americana, a man’s man with an effortless style.” He wanted to create crafted clothing for crafted people, and exceed expectations. “With the entire experience from fabric to packaging, we look to really push the limits of what is expected in apparel. Every piece comes dutifully packaged in hand crafted wooden packaging that really creates a brand experience that is second to none. ” Obviously, we agree.

    Love the Skylar one! It’s relaxed but still has enough pep to make a great impression.

    I would love to get the Madison for my fiance! It’s perfect for our wedding and beyond. He’s going to be a teacher, so he could definitely rock it in the classroom :)

    I’d geaux with the Dean necktie, although the Dexter bow is a close second.

    I never would have discovered these guys if it wasn’t for y’all, so thank you! The Clay is what I would pick, because one cannot have enough gingham in the closet.

    BTW, love the redesign. I was skeptical when I heard y’all had done it, because I liked the color scheme of the old site, but I think this came out wonderfully.

    I met this guy Mardi Gras weekend on Oak Street at Chiba. Good guy. A few weeks later I bought one of his pocket squares from a friend’s store. I’d have to go with the baxley bow.

  37. John says

    I have several of DCOY pocket squares, when I wear them I get compliments as they are so unique and colorful. The bow ties are awesome!!

    This was definitely a hard decision, because there were so many great options. But, if I had my pick, I’d have to say the Addison. Such a funky pattern, I think it would be a really great discussion piece. Plus, ladies love flowers.
