The TGW Story
Origin of The Greatness Within Custom Bowtie Collection and TGW Custom Apparel
Always known as a stylish guy, I fell in love with bow ties a few years ago. As an author and motivational speaker, bow ties became an integral part of my signature look at all my events. With trends such as “Bow Tie Tuesday”, and a host of celebrities, athletes, and other media personalities flocking to bow ties, they became more and more popular. As a result, genuine, quality, and authentic bow ties started to become harder and harder to find. Many of the local men’s stores started carrying them in large quantities, which also led to me seeing various gentlemen sporting the same tie! That’s when it hit me! The only way to ensure I was the only one wearing my bow tie was to create my own, and that’s when The Greatness Within Custom Bow Tie Collection was born.
I was trained and taught to sew by my mother who was a very talented fashion designer, seamstress, and owner of LMS Creations. Having watched her design everything from wedding gowns, evening wear, business wear, casual attire, and my sister’s prom gowns, as well as, my prom tuxedos, I knew design was in my bones!
What’s In A Name?
You may notice something familiar or peculiar about my collection – the names! Each tie is named with purpose and significance. Having been born in Youngstown, OH, and raised in Philadelphia, PA; each tie is named after an important place, historical landmark, street/neighborhood from my two hometowns; or has significance for my family.
My collection is unique in that no two ties are alike. Another one of the areas that I specialize in is necktie-to-bowtie conversions! Don’t throw your old fav necktie away, allow me to convert it to a brand new, custom bow tie! No matter what the event or purpose is, I can help you create that stylish and sophisticated look that only a bow tie can create!
