    A Halloween Tale

    In the naval battle of Port Ocai the ship called the Saracen was sunk. One of the sailors, I’ll call him Pecard, even if I’m not sure of his name, saved himself by hanging on to a piece of wreckage. As the battle went on like a game of chess for many days, both fleets circling and trying to gain...

    When is horsehide broken-in?

    When do you consider a new horsehide jacket broken in? My idea is that it's broken in when I can easily put it on, take it off and wear it comfortably. My experience of horsehide is limited to two jackets with a third on the way. The first was worn fairly often for a couple of years but...

    Shoe trees

    What is the correct way to use shoe trees? I had always understood that one put them in the shoes when the shoe was removed and the shoe was "hot" and damp so the shoe would dry around them. I read on the Alden site (I think) that shoe trees should be fitted after the shoes had cooled. Is...
