One of my favorite local preppy haunts, Parallel 38, recently hosted a trunk show for the clothier Collared Greens. With Derby right around the corner, Collard Green’s line of vibrant bow ties is a perfect fit for any dapper gentleman making his way to the race course. They also feature polos, ball caps and other attire.
But, what’s really great about Collared Greens is their environmental focus, not only with proceeds of their sales, but also in how they construct their clothing, which is made of organic cotton in the good ol’ US of A. Here’s the story behind their name, according to their website:
Why "Collared Greens?" First, it's a word play on the delicious Southern dish collard greens, a form of kale. Secondly, all of our polo shirts have the Collared Greens original green twill tape on the inside collar to indicate that they are made with sustainable, "green" organic cotton. As you may have guessed, our polar bear brand symbol was suggested by this magnificent animal's status as an iconic endangered species.
So, in addition to their “green” focus, I appreciate their homage to a traditional southern dish. And even though Collared Greens is based in the wild west of Sun Valley, Idaho, they truly are a preppy brand. Look at all of the sun-kissed, athletic, fresh-faces in their catalog. The living must be good in Sun Valley! So, if you’re looking for classic clothing that also promotes a good cause, consider Collared Greens.
Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Sounds like a great company. But for some reason I now have an over whelming craving for some greens and cornbread!
I have three bowtie wearing men in our house, so thanks for sharing a new place to find some great ones! Enjoy your weekend!
Looks great! I love the bizarre dichotomy of collard greens, Idaho, and the polar bear... sounds like Robin Williams take on when God invented the platypus.
Love the bow ties!
Thank you for sharing a new brand with us, we *love* learning about independent firms like Collard Greens, their goods look outstanding, and what a cute name as well!
Sending you a smile,

I love it when companies not only support charity causes but also do great stuff. Those bows are just too cute and so lovely and preppy. We don't have enough of the cute and preppy stuff here in London eventhough we are supposedly the home of the preppy. Happy weekending! xxx LZ
