THE ORIGINAL
For Brackish - it all started with a wedding and Ben’s first bow tie design which we now call the Original. As he was sitting at his dining room table, he noticed that the natural shape, conformation and tapering of a turkey feather matched that of a bow tie perfectly. From here, he made the first round of feather bow ties for the groomsmen in his wedding. What many may not know, however, is that Ben also crafted the first Brackish cummerbund at the same time. To distinguish his family from his friends at the wedding, Ben crafted complimentary cummerbunds for his dad and brother (as seen above).
