    Faux moc toe repair?

    Anyone know whether or not the repair of a faux moc toe stitching is possible? I've got a pair of Aldens, and a few of the moc toe stitches have broken on me, and I'm looking for a way to repair them. It's not that unsightly, really, I guess it's just kind of an esoteric thing I'd like to have...

    Do your best/worst!

    Ok, we all know that from time to time the rabble will harass us over our choice to dress nicely, as opposed to letting our behinds fall out of our pants and wearing offensive shirts 8 sizes too big for us. My question is, what is the worst thing someone has said in reference to your clothes...

    How to dye a felt hat?

    For this year's San Diego Comic Con, I am very seriously considering attending as Will Eisner's vintage pulp hero The Spirit.

    Was once my love ...

    Hello, dear lady. A lovely evening, is it not? Forgive me for intruding. Perhaps you were intending to take a stroll, or pehaps you were merely enjoying the view. No matter.

    Fellows, When I first started working here at The Village Hat Shop, I thought: "This is the perfect job for me! A hat store! Wow. How lucky am I to have gotten that job?" I would soon find out that I was terribly, terribly mistaken about the nature of the job for which I had applied. My...

    Hats like the ones in "Catch me if you Can"

    I was just wondering who might make hats (that are reasonably priced) that look like the one agent Handratty (Tom Hanks) wore in the film "Catch me if you Can".

    My new Keppler fed..boy oh boy!

    I just got my new Lee Keppler "Raiders" fedora from Lee today. My my, it's a beaut'. It even has the "raiders turn", and the brim's a tad rumpled for additional effect.
