    Vintage Suitings: Discussions of, and sourcing modern equivalents, etc.

    Is liking suits so much a sign of craziness?

    Van Dyke Custom Hat Maker

    I recall them being located around Penn Station. I stopped in once or twice in the late 80s, though it could have been earlier. PM FL member 'besdor' and he can probably fill you in on them. BTW, why are you so sure that the Brooklyn shop is of no relation? Just curious.
