Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
Truly elegant handmade ties with a unique flair.
Why we love it:
There are two kinds of men who dress up; those that have to, and those that want to. For the ones that have to, the process of shopping for "work wear" is an arduous one indeed, fraught with irritations and pitfalls. For the ones that want to, the thrill of discovering some truly excellent item of clothing is almost as great as actually wearing it. With either type of man, you can hardly go wrong with a really excellent tie. You can get the "has to" guy out of his default 'horizontal stripes of some color that vaguely matches shirt' look, and you can give the "want to" guy an opportunity to enjoy a day filled with one of his favorite compliments ("Wow, snappy outfit."). For a gift, an ordinary tie won't do, and Sovereign Beck's ties steadfastly refuse to be ordinary. They walk the fine line between abstract and traditional, producing a result that would blend into the most corporate of environments, but still stand head and shoulders above the rest in terms of style. Whether he's a "has to" or a "wants to" this is a tie he can really get behind, err, under... or, inside... you get the idea.
