My birthday rolled around and sure enough my parents asked me what I wanted and I told them a sewing machine. That’s how The Clad Stache was born. Where did the name The Clad Stache come from? Several years ago one of my now best friends could not ever get out Taylor. He was constantly calling me Tyler. He got so fed up with it that he wanted to know my nickname. I told him I didn’t really have one that I liked so he called me Stache, since at the time I was the only person that was really rocking a mustache. So the name partly comes from David Foster. The other half of the name comes from the want to find an old-fashioned word that nobody really uses anymore. I came across it one day and it just seemed to fit. In addition to bow ties what are you going to offer? We would like to officially announce that we are going to be getting into the necktie game. The “Greyson” is the necktie that is featured in this article. In addition to Neckties we will be offering a line of pocket squares, men’s scarves and rags. Our rags are the same size as a bandana and are perfect to use as one. We want them to be used for any occasion that you can possibly imagine - bar towel, dish rag, sweat rag, a rag for barbers to wipe your freshly trimmed hairs from your neck and face, or jus a rag to throw in your pocket as an accessory to set your outfit off.

Sure enough this kid comes running up to me and all out of breath says “Where did you buy that bow tie?” I told him that I had made it and before I could get out that I was the owner of The Clad Stache he took the words right out of my mouth. From that point on the company has just taken off. We have started shipping worldwide to Australia, the UK, Sweden, Canada, Denmark, as well as several States here in the U.S. Florida, NY, Texas, Pennsylvania, California, Seattle, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, and Arizona. Where can we buy The Clad Stache Merchandise? We just launched our web site last month www.TheCladStache.com and there you will find our entire line of bow ties that we are currently making, and soon Clad Stache rags, and pocket squares. On our website we also have a “Custom” tab where you can inquire about having a custom bow tie or neck tie made. Here you can also send us pictures of a necktie that you want converted into a bow tie or a custom rag or pocket square.
