As someone passionate about both menswear and fine craftsmanship, I’m always on the lookout for ways to elevate my wardrobe essentials. One area that often gets overlooked is tie storage. Most commercially available solutions are either flimsy, unsightly, or just plain boring. That’s why I was immediately drawn to the handcrafted wooden tie racks by Dapper Woodworks.
These aren’t your average tie racks. Crafted from premium hardwoods like walnut, cherry, and maple, each piece is meticulously handcrafted with an attention to detail that’s evident in every smooth curve and polished finish.
The Dapper Woodworks Difference
What sets Dapper Woodworks apart goes beyond just the quality of their materials and craftsmanship. It’s their commitment to customization and personalization that truly makes them special.
Customizable Sizes and Finishes:
Whether you have a modest tie collection or a sprawling one, Dapper Woodworks offers custom sizing to perfectly accommodate your needs. They also offer a variety of wood finishes and peg styles, allowing you to create a tie rack that seamlessly blends with your existing decor.
Supporting Small Business and Ethical Practices:
When you purchase a Dapper Woodworks tie rack, you’re not just getting a beautiful and functional piece of craftsmanship, you’re also supporting a small business with a heart. Justin Trewitt, the talented artisan behind Dapper Woodworks, is passionate about giving back. He donates a portion of his monthly sales to Twelve21, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing education, food, and medical care to children in need.

My Experience with Dapper Woodworks
Justin was kind enough to send me one of his custom-made tie racks for review, and I was immediately impressed. The craftsmanship is impeccable. The walnut finish is rich and luxurious, and the brass pegs add a touch of masculine elegance.
What truly surprised me was the attention to detail in the mounting system. The keyhole slots on the back of the rack, coupled with the included wooden mounting guide, made installation a breeze.
