It's so nice that I can't blame the moths for wanting to try it!

I have a pair of shoes that needs this treatment. You really can learn something new every day!Charlie - I"m no expert on this. I think the technique shown in the video Doug embedded is about right. But I used a rib and not one sold especially for doing shoes. One I got from my brother in law complete with a nice fat covering. Ha ha.

So while it is a method primarily recommended for shell cordovan, it works for box calf to some degree also.

Thanks for the info! It looks greatI like it
Strangely it's probably my favorite straw that I own
This was my second summer with it and I enjoyed it
Great fit and it is proportioned well
The quality is fine for what I payed for it
It showed up with a bit more flange scoop than I generally like on this style hat but I flattened it out and am happy with it
