The Secret

Leave a reply

It sounds familiar, your once so beautiful neat shoes are worn over time and the shape is no longer what it used to be. Frankly, you can’t wear them any longer. But you want to wear them, they are your favourite ones. What if I tell you that it’s possible to wear your shoes much longer then you ever imagined. The secret? Cedar shoe trees.

Cedar shoe trees (UK / EU) are seamlessly integrated into your shoes. The shoe shape remains perfect which prevents wear and counteracts the emergence of creases. The shoe trees consist of 100 procent untreated cedar wood. This will result in inclusion of moisture directly. The condition of the leather is therefore much better and less damaged. The smell of cedar is lovely. So your shoes will smell lovely as well. Enjoying your shoes for much longer, what more do you want?

How To Tie Your Bow Tie

Leave a reply

When you want to tie your bow tie (UK / EU) it isn’t easy to start. To help you we made a list of six steps that will guide you.

1. Make a simple knot with both ends, allowing slightly more length (one or two inches) on the end of A.

2. Lift A out of the way, fold B into the normal bow shape, and position it on the first knot you made.

3. Drop A vertically over folded end B.

4. Then double A back on itself and position it over the knot so that the two folded ends make a cross.

5. The hard part: Pass folded end A under and behind the left side (yours) of the knot, and through the loop behind folded end B.

6. Tighten the knot you have created, straightening any crumples and creases, particularly in the narrow part at the center.

Is it too much trouble? You can also buy a pre-tied bow tie (UK / EU).
