    Size 10B Florshiem Saddles

    These got posted in the shoe thread a little while back, and now that I'm back in town, I'm throwing them up here. Size 10B, calf, in pretty good shape. I thrifted them with a person in mind to sell to, but he didn't want them, so his loss is your gain. The sole has some wear, but not a whole...

    Creighton- Junk or gold?

    I found a Creighton hat at the thrift store the other day, A little beat up but workable. I think it dates to 1965, but I'm not perfectly sure. Anyway, is it a good brand or a junk one?

    A restoration project.

    Bit of a lengthy photo entry here, so I figured I would give it it's own thread, to serve as inspiration to others who find hats in similar condition and want to try restoring them. Recently, I found a fedora in a thrift shop. Small 60's stingy in what happened to be my size. 75 cents. It...

    Cheap hat cleaning and sweatbands.

    Being a college student, I don't have a whole lot of money to spend on hats. I recently found a hat at a thrift store, and while I succeeded in reblocking it (the thing was crushed), it needs to be cleaned, needs a new sweat, and could stand a new liner and ribbon, but those would be optional...

And I don't mean it needs jut one or two minor modifications, I mean perfectly. In great shape too, made by Anderson-Little, which from the...
