Genni Threet, blogger for R. Hanauer says, “While it can be a daunting task to select shirts, pants, and jackets that best represent your personality, accessories are far easier and more attainable tools to express yourself. That’s where your favorite bow tie comes in.” 

"Brothers and Bowties” made its inaugural debut MLK Weekend in January 2020, partnering with the historic Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, The Birmingham Mayor’s Office: Divisions of Youth Service, and several organizations across the City of Birmingham. Timothy Alexander, author, and motivational speaker, served as the 2020 keynote speaker.
