After years of hearing my father Arnie talk about our long-time customers Kathy and Bob Lowe, the owners of Russell-Hampton, I finally had the opportunity to fly out to Kansas City to meet them. Russell-Hampton creates the official merchandise for Rotary International, a global group to do good around the world.  Meeting these people we've been working with for so long left me completely jazzed about the relationships we have developed with our customers over the years.

In our business, complete customization can certainly keep us on our toes!  After more than thirty years of creating custom accessories -- just when we think we have seen it all -- we get a project that not only makes us smile but gives us a chance to think outside of the box.

Lucky you!  You have just received an invitation for your very first yacht club party.  For most people this brings up the question “What on earth do I wear?”.  Have no fear!  We work with many yacht clubs to make sure their members look sharp with custom ties and scarves.  Here are some of our style tips to help you navigate the waters of yacht club fashion and pull together an amazing outfit.

The Professional Golfer's Association of America serves more than 28,000 members.  Founded in 1916, it organizes the PGA Championship, which is one of the largest competitions in the sport.  We are proud to have made custom ties for the 2016 PGA golf championship, worn by VIPs such as the commissioner of the PGA golf tour championship, Tim Finches.  This branded neckwear elegantly accessorizes the professionals who support this event.  

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital leads the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.  Their research efforts have helped increase childhood cancer survival rates from less than than 20% in 1962 to more than 80% today.  St. Jude's serves over 7,000 families every year, who never receive a bill for their treatment costs.

One of the things I love the most about working in our family-run business is the opportunity to meet some of the most amazing people along the way.  Recently I traveled to Minneapolis, MN to meet the Reagan Family.  They are a longtime customer of ours and the founders of Through Jimmy’s Eyes.  They are also a family dedicated to bringing awareness to autism and helping families impacted by autism find the resources they need.  

Shop4ties offers high-quality ties, scarves, and other custom products in large part because of our long-term partnership with our manufacturer.  Seventeen years ago Arnie, Shop4ties’ founder and Becky’s father was contacted by Michael, who owns a textile factory overseas.  Michael had found "Corporate Textiles" in the phone book (remember those?) and as a result they worked together until Arnie's passing.
