<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Preps love to get knotty. It's time to kick that knottyness up a notch with our newly designed USA MADE ribbon belts and accessories. </span><br />

American labor is costly and while this is our biggest challenge, we wouldn't have our manufacturing done anywhere else but right here in the USA.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">While drafting up a Holiday Etiquette post for the season, I stumbled upon this and decided to use it instead. It's a bit "knotty" and pretty much nails the points of good etiquette for not just any party, but for most parties you'll attend well into 2013. At the bottom is a playlist of the greatest Christmas music everyone should play at their party this year.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The General Rules of Etiquette Everyone Should Abide By At A Christmas Party This Season:</span></b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Rules Subject to Change)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>If Hosting, Pick a Date. </b> Not a person date, but a calendar date. If you schedule a party on the same day as a friend, chances are everyone will go to his/her party because they are cooler than you. Besides, I told you not to make it an ugly sweater party. Those are lame.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>If Attending, Know the Date. </b> Mark it on your calendar, planner, iPhone, iPad, tablet, post-it note. Have your intern or pledge remind you. Really there is no excuse nowadays on forgetting something.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Timing.</b> Being late is never good, especially if you're a girl. No matter, 20 minutes late is one thing. Being over an hour late is another. Plan accordingly and recognize that this isn't a college mixer where arriving at the end of the night just to pick up the drunkest chick will go unnoticed. Plus, you'll miss out on all of the really good hors d'oeuvres if you're late.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Black tie means black tie.</b> There is the famed ugly sweater party that <strike>we are all fucking sick of</strike> usually ends up with someone passed out on the lawn. Then there is the formal Christmas party that hosts put great effort into making a pleasurable and upscale event, complete with champagne (not Andre) and maybe a <strike>pledge</strike> hired bartender. Get dressed up and get after it, pinky up. And no, a tuxedo t-shirt doesn't count (unless you're from Arkansas).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Bring a gift for the host or hostess.</b> Coming empty-handed to a cocktail party, especially a Christmas party, is extremely tacky. Pickup a bottle of wine, some dessert or any small trinket of appreciation and you'll be set. Remember, a 12 of Buds is better than nothing so just play off of the "12 Days of Christmas" song and hand them out like candy. *Tip: Go the extra step and tie a bow on them.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Thank your hosts.</b> Look them in the eye, say their names, and give them a heartfelt "thank you." Now is not the time to call your friend <strike>The Pisser</strike> by the college nickname you use on the sports field each weekend. Class it up, asshole, this is a Christmas party.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Packing heat.</b> If you're carrying a flask, it's wise to share and it better be bourbon. Bourbon is the most versatile holiday party drink spiker. Egg nog, mulled cider, a glass with just ice, after dinner coffee or hot chocolate. Before you leave make sure to refill your flask for the after party. It's the gift that keeps on giving...and taking.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Don't come to the party drunk.</b> Clearly you didn't listen to the rule above about sharing so hopefully you're playing Santa for the little kids (heaven forbid there are kids there). No little child will understand, "Santa had too much of Rudolph's punch on the sleigh ride over." If you can't distinguish between another kid, a divorcee, or a prior slam wanting to climb on you to beg for a new My Little Pony doll, grab some coffee or water. *Tip: If this is a Christmas party at work, chances are it is a divorcee so make sure you have some rubbers in the sack. Ho Ho Ho.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Leave the stereo alone.</b> Unless you're the DJ or were asked to bring a playlist, leave the iPod in its dock. Nobody likes your month old Drake and nobody likes your two month old Drake so don't even think about it. Of course, there are always parties with a weak music scene and if you do find yourself at one of these, <strike>simply pull the host aside when they aren't busy and offer up some new jams</strike> fade the current song out by lowering the volume when no one is looking. Then, put your crazy wild jams on at a low murmur until someone says, "hey I love this song!" The volume will be cranked, champagne popped and you'll be Kirilling the shit out of babes before the track ends. <strike>Chances are the host will be totally cool with it.</strike> Claim ownership of the new music only after the host approves.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Mingle, mingle, mingle. </b> Every party has the potential to be the best party of all time. To guys, the best party of all time means they took home a lady and brought her to brunch the next day. To girls, the best party of all time means they perfectly matched the reds on the invitations to the reds on the cocktail napkins to the reds on the frosted gingerbread men's buttons. Either way, both parties are getting head. If you don't know someone, introduce yourself. Offer them a drink. Offer them a stiff drink. Chances are you'll have more friends there than you think. Who knows, you might even meet some of those <strike>Facebook friends</strike> Twitter followers you have.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Know when to leave. </b>You will come to a time in the night where you go to refill your plastic party cup at the bar. On the way there you will shoulder a doorway, hip-check a chair and possibly trip. Unbeknownst to you, no less than four dirty looks from guests will be sent your way. If you make it to the bar in a vertical state, the punch bowl will be empty. Do not ask, "Hey, hey is this the punch? Wish I got some, anymore coming?" and sound like a complete chode. Everyone knows you've been swimming in it all night. Instead, think of your exit. Find your hosts and thank them. Look them in the eye, say their names, and give them a heartfelt "thank you." Now is still not the time to call your friend <strike>The Pisser</strike> by the college nickname you use on the sports field each weekend. Consider sending your friend a text instead. *Tip: Make sure you got that divorcee's number in your phone correctly.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So with those thoughts and rules now replacing the dancing sugar plum fairies in your head, I bid you all adieu and hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season. Go easy on the egg nog!</span><br />

When I heard all the buzz about Knot below the Mason Dixon line, it made me realize that Knot is expanding to warmer climates and breaking through to the true haberdashery scene now more than ever. While I love New England and the birthplace of prep culture, there is something about the south that cannot be matched; both in style and way of life. A pressed shirt, blazer and shorts on a Tuesday. A sundress, hat and shades at a tailgate on a Saturday. A cocktail with koozie in hand, in <i>everyone's</i> hand, around five o'clock no matter what day. And don't forget that the sun is always shining. <br />

With that in mind, shortly after Thanksgiving I set out to cruise the south and explore the culture I missed so much when visiting friends during my college days. I knew things were a bit different but really wanted to discover southern prep culture and what it stood for. What I found, off the beaten paths in the towns that are the backbone of this country, were all around amazing people.<br />

Store owners would not only take time to look at what Knot had to offer, but also tell you about their recent hunting trip and serve you a snack in the back stock room. The founders of brands I have followed since their start offered up information and tips over lunch or drinks. Respectable bloggers and journalists in the know set up cocktail hour after cocktail hour, no matter how last minute I contacted them. And of course, I couch surfed, apartment crashed and interrupted the everyday flow of my friends lives and friends of friends lives when I needed a place to stay.<br />
<br />
Nashville music, and fried chicken, cannot be beat. The nightlife in New Orleans complimented the drinks more than one can tell. Christmas in the Gulf was so much fun that I ended up staying for ten days. And, once I hit Savannah on my way back north I knew I couldn't leave just yet. So, in Charleston I decided to sublet an apartment and stay there for three months. Cougar nation and lowcountry natives took me in and each day was just as inspiring and fun as the last. How could it not be inspiring with warm weather, beautiful people and the amazing history and sense of fashion? Putting a dent in the South, no matter how big or small that dent was, made me truly look at everything Knot has done thus far and smile.<br />

I could go on about each town I visited and every person met at an oyster roast, but I'll spare you the time. Just know that I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone along the way and everyone propelling Knot into the future. Y'all know who you are and I couldn't have done it or continue to do it without you. Knot is bigger and better than every so look out for some awesome <a href="http://knotclothing.com/index.php?cPath=6" target="_blank">new stuff</a> this summer!<br />

It was absolutely gorgeous and I highly recommend checking out whenever the sun is high in the sky. Also, check out the link below to get your free FB sticker and to keep updated on everything FB...very cool indeed.<br />

If you've been following us on <a href="http://twitter.com/knotbeltco" target="_blank">twitter</a>, you may have seen some tweets hinting at a romp down south. After over a year of planning and a whole lot of support from friends and fans, those tweets are now true. With the Knot Mobile all packed up, I'll be heading south to spread the word of American Made grosgrain and sling belts to stores and campuses along the way. Now more than ever it's time to visit fans and customers who have brought us this far and show you all some knotty love. <br />
<br />
As a bonus, once I hit Charleston, SC ("Knotty or Nice" party at College of Charleston on Dec 3rd), I'll be picking up a co-pilot, Jessica Nell Graves (yes that JNG from <a href="http://thelovelist.net/">thelovelist.net</a>). In a fusion of what has become musical/apparel/lifestyle fate, Jess now bears the tentative title of "Music Go-To Girl" at <a href="http://gardenandgun.com/" target="_blank">Garden & Gun Magazine</a>. She'll be focusing on amazing new bands and on-location-genre-appropriate music. If you read her blog or have seen some of her other work, you know it'll be dynamite. <br />
<br />
With Jess as my co-pilot while Knot ventures into warm weather and true haberdashery, and with me as Jess's co-pilot while she explores untapped music scenes for G&G, it's sure to be a musical belt cruise like the south has never seen. We'll be updating twitter and facebook and blogging the whole way so if you're in the area, give us a shout out if you know the best place to grab a bite to eat, if you know of something fun to do in the area or if you want to grab a beer or say hey. Bottom line, we love our fans and customers, so hit us up!<br />

As Knot grows, we are beginning our journey from <a href="http://knotclothing.com/">online webstore</a> only, to boutiques and retailers across the country. With many fan suggestions we have been able to build quite the list of shops located in favorite towns from Kennebunkport, ME to Oxford, MS and beyond. On a recent trip to Washington, DC, Caitlin and I had the opportunity to stop into one of our favorite stores, <a href="http://www.dorchestermd.com/%7Ebcctv9/thefineswine/">The Fine Swine</a>.<br />

Its obvious that owner John Hickman has his finger on the pulse of what is going on in the haberdashery world. When we arrived, John was outside in an Adirondack chair puffing on a fine cigar and reading a magazine. With a popped collar and khakis, it was a great scene that I'm sure the people of Kensington see on a daily. Upon entering the store you are welcomed by his staff, we met a prepped-up Thomas, and immediately taken back by the wide selection of goods.<br />
<br />

Headed to the beach? How about the swimwear section. Hunting? He's got tweed and Barbour. Tailgating? A Tervis tumbler will keep that cocktail cold. On top of the wonderful brands at The Fine Swine, we found ourselves engulfed with pieces of John's personal art collection of Old English fox hunting scenes, swine related table pieces, vintage books and just really cool antique things you would expect to find behind glass at your country or racquet club rather than on display at a store.<br />

We could have stayed there all afternoon and if the basement men's lounge and kegerator were finished, I'm sure we would have. So if you find yourself cruising through Maryland and need to pick up a new outfit with a Knot belt to match, definitely stop into The Fine Swine. Tell John we sent you!<br />

Everyone has been emailing us about this belt and I'm proud to say it is almost ready to be released. Since we first hinted at this leather-backed style of belt back in January, it has taken many turns along the way. The genuine leather we first used for our samples turned out to be harder to find, and with the high quality grosgrain ribbon we currently use for our d-rings, we weren't about to settle for anything less. Put the two materials together, along with our solid brass hardware, and what you have is an American Made belt with 100% genuine leather and finely corded grosgrain. The Four Majors design will be limited in numbers and be the first leather-backed style in our upcoming "Back Nine" collection.<br />
