9tailors Holiday Gift Guide

This is pretty much the last weekend to do your holiday gift shopping. Christmas is about a week and a half away. Sales are passing by and quantities are becoming limited. Lucky for you, our 20% off purchases over $150 promotion goes until December 26th and our Holiday Male Box gets you 10% off 9tailors accessories and custom shirt gift cards*restrictions apply until the end of the year. 

Our holiday gift guide is for those who are looking to buy men's suiting accessories to help build up your man's wardrobe to become a tad bit more dapper. If you get him a tie, don't just get him a tie. Get him a tie and a tie-holder. This will show that you thought about the gift a little more rather than just grabbing a tie that you hope he likes but also help keep the tie in place during his day. If you get him a bow tie, pair it with a pocket square or knotted cuff links. Knotted cuff links are the perfect starter cuff links for someone who isn't entirely sure of them. They are casual yet styled and the best part is that they are inexpensive. They come in array of colors to match up with their colored shoe laces or shirts.

You'll also have a chance to preview the 9tailors custom winter outerwear and coating. This is a free event so, drink, relax and cozy up with a glass of bourbon.

More about what you'll be drinking....

Did you know? scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey based on where and how it is distilled. Bourbon's distilling details are so fine and intricate, there are legal standards for a bourbon to be born. What makes a bourbon a bourbon? Federal law includes but are not limited to, 

• Must have been made in the USA
• At least 51% of the grain used must be corn
• The maximum distilled strength is 160 proof and must be bottled with the minimum strength of 80 proof. When it is barreled for aging, it cannot be more than 125 proof. 
• The whiskey must age in a virgin charred white oak barrel
• To be a "straight bourbon", it must age in the virgin barrel for at least 2 years with no added coloring, flavoring or spirits. It must remain pure. 

Four Roses Bourbon is celebrating their 125th Anniversary, dubbing 2013 the Year of the Toast and was awarded American Distiller of the Year for its third year in a row!

Event details to follow

Julie Robenhymer representing stella & dot in a brief conversation: 

Tell us a little bit about the company.

Stella & Dot is a global accessories brand featured in every fashion magazine and adored by celebrities for our great quality and on trend styles. We offer everything from bold statement pieces to every day classics and everything in between from earrings to necklaces to bags and scarves. We just launched our Holiday Collection and my personal favorite is the Zora - a beautiful statement piece with a lot of sparkle that is perfect for a night out, but can also be dressed down with jeans and a t-shirt. 

I have always loved fashion and think your clothes and accessories tell a story about who you are to the people you cross paths with every day and I want to make sure they're saying the right things!

What does style mean to you? 

Style is what you make of it... It should be comfortable. It should be personal. It should make a statement. My best fashion advice is to wear whatever makes you look and feel like a million bucks. My mom always told me that there's no bad mood a good pair of shoes can't fix!

What made you want to partner up with us?

I thought it was a great partnership between brands that have the same focus on function, fashion and, most importantly, quality to give our customers a personal, unique look so that they can make a statement without saying a word. 

Here's a video link of Noreen Fraser and our CEO, Jessica Herrin, talking about the foundation and how the Stella & Dot Breast Cancer Awareness Boutique is helping to raise funds. - > http://bit.ly/173GMKS

We hope to see many of you with your lovely ladies in your life at our upcoming event!
