Fashion designer and former Marine Antonio Centeno of Real Men Real Style is helping to raise awareness and money for a cause that is near and dear to his heart. Antonio experienced the loss of two friends to suicide, and recently experienced the loss of his sister in the same way. He is coping and grieving for his loved ones by using his "business to raise funds for causes which [he] feels are force multipliers for the fight against suicide."
Antonio created a limited number of silk ties that honor each military branch. For every tie sold, he will donate $50 to Stop Soldier Suicide, a non-profit organization that exists to curb suicide attempts among US Soldiers and Veterans.
The ties retail for $79, but buyers can receive a $30 discount by entering the promo code "military" at checkout.
{GIVEAWAY} In order to continue to raise awareness for Stop Soldier Suicide, Antonio and Real Men Real Style are giving away one tie to a lucky Semper Wifey reader. All you have to do is visit the website, then come back here and comment which tie is your favorite and who you would give it to. A winner will be selected at random on October 1.
Thank you so much for the support SF! - Semper Fi, Antonio
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tie is the Army tie because my brother-in-law currently is serving and it would be a great gift to give him as a small token of appreciation for his service.
ReplyDeleteI like the Marine tie and would give it to my Big Bro from my fraternity Omega Delta Sigma, the National Veterans Fraternity.
ReplyDeleteMy father was a senior chief for 25 years in the USN, this one's a nobrainer. As much as I'd love to tease him with an airforce or USMC tie, I'd definitely give him a Navy tie.
ReplyDeleteAir Force, I lost my my uncle to suicide not too long ago, and wearing the tie will help me remember the great man he was and what he did for our country.
ReplyDeleteLandon - send me an email (just use the contact form at RMRS) and I'll make sure you get an Air Force tie on me. R/S Antonio
DeleteAntonio- Thank you so much for your generosity, I have contacted you and await for your reply.
DeleteThe Marine Corps tie is definitely the best. I come from a family of Marines and I recently commissioned as a 2nd Lt. in May. Although I would want to keep the tie for myself, I would gift it to my father who served and brags about the Marine Corps daily. I'll just have to buy one for me later!

Terry Davies, don't have a profile on any of the below. I'd choose USMC which I would give to my military enthusiast buddy.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! i so like them all my favorite it USMC
ReplyDeleteThe USMC tie is my favorite. I am actually not surprised that this is also the one that seems to be selling the best.
ReplyDeleteI love the Airforce tie, my uncle used to serve in our Airforce and later was part of the UNIFIL where he had some pretty hard times.

ReplyDeleteMy Grandfather served as a colonel in wwII. He passed away a couple of years ago. P.S. Antonio, thank you for raising awareness! It means a lot.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandfather served in the US Army.
ReplyDeleteSo sad. We don't need to lose any more soldiers. I know the military sometimes can be a lonely path so we've got to give our troop all the support we can!
ReplyDeleteAll the ties look good, but since my grandfather served in the Navy, I would choose the Navy tie. He passed away while I was in high school though, so I can't give it to him. Instead, I would keep it and wear it as a reminder of him and his service to our country.
ReplyDeletesuch a great cause!
