    Shoe Shine brushes

    They may be United Shoe Machinery Company brushes. Here is a site with the USMC logo I have seen on a shine brush. http://www.campbell-bosworth.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/3_191

    Fancy Danners

    I think the Light and Urban Light are the closest to the Hawksnest you can get in the US. From the description of the Urban Light, it sounds like the Hawksnest was exclusive to Danner Japan. It is still an 8-hole boot, it just has fewer hooks. Both appear to be hybrids of the Two-Tone and the...

    Dried up patent leather

    I would say Pecard or Dr. Jackson's, but I don't know that either would penetrate through the patent finish, and if they did it might restore the leather and ruin the finish. You might want to try e-mailing Pecard ( http://www.pecard.com/contact_us.html ) and see if they think one of their...

    Sports shirt with sewn compartment in pocket

    I believe carldelo is correct. It sounds like a variation on this that is likely easier to make.

    Hunting for the perfect jeans

    For a high waisted jean, I like Carhartt dungarees that sit at the natural waist (not all do so check the labels). They are not "boot cut" but have a large leg opening to fit over boots and a straight leg. Unfortunately, you have to get a jean with utility pockets on the side to get that fit...

    Do sweaters dream of becoming blazers?

    I am liking those sweater blazers as well, but I can't imagine when I would wear it besides a costumed event. "When a sweater is too casual and a blazer too formal...The Sweazer." At least they are accurately representing their clothes on the runway. That is how most clothes fit me if I try...

    How to wear gloves with tite cuffs?

    If it is especially windy I put the gloves on first so they stay under the cuff, but normally I just wear them over the cuff. In temperatures around -10C I usually have gauntlet mittens on.

    Shoe horn recommendation

    I use a Synovia metal horn I got from Nordstrom. It appears to be chrome plated and the back is stamped Pro Fitter / Made in USA. It is 7-3/8" long and I think it was $10. It appears to be the same style as this horn from Allen Edmonds which is also $10...

    "Alternative" Ties

    Looks like a ribbon tied as a bow tie, just a thicker version of the string bow tie. Here is something similar referred to as a floppy bow tie, but it is thinner, the ends are shorter, and it's pre-tied. http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/store/001223.php There is also the western bow tie...

    Where to buy boar bristles for a hairbrush?

    I would like to try making a hairbrush with the bristles wired in, but I have not been able to locate a place to purchase boar bristles. Do I need to find an existing brush with bristles that are long enough, or does anyone know where I can purchase the bristles separately?

    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    Do you have an ISBN for that? The only thing I can find is by John Murchie Douglas, with the nearly identical title Blackthorn: Lore and the Art of Making Walking Sticks.

    Besltaff Colonial

    I don't know whether it is worth $250, but it costs $385 from J.Crew and they seem to have periodic 20% off coupons that would put it at $308, so it is cheaper than you are likely to find it elsewhere.
