• Deck Head Featured In Southpark Magazine

Brandon Etheridge was a high school sophomore when he first had the idea of an interchangeable bow tie. The Charlottean, who is originally from Chicago, loved the Southern style of bow ties but hated that they didn't exhibit the same fresh look after a few wears. Enter the first interchangeable bow tie-and Etheridge's shop, Deck Head. The versatile bow ties are sold in halves, allowing customers to mix and match. A student at the University of South Carolina, Etheridge is continuing to balance college coursework with the new business, but has big plans for his style-savvy brand. "In a few years, I hope that Deck Head becomes a household name," says Etheridge. "Especially in the Southeastern area." -Margaret Kaufmann
