oxfords hurt like crap! what do I do??
I had this very same problem recently with some NOS vintage shoes that I had bought years ago. I finally got around to wearing them and they were cutting into my ankles like a knife. Then I remembered what the shoe salesman used to do when I was buying new shoes in the 1950's. He would bend the...- Shoe-nut

Non-douchey combat pants
Great site, great stuff! But whoa, those prices! Well, some of those items are not made by anyone else so I expect that is why the cost is so high. From what I could see of their operation each garment is made completely by one person. There is no assembly line operation in place. They have...- Shoe-nut

Non-douchey combat pants
If you want something not so mainstream, I have used S&M Wholesale makers of custom military uniforms. They make a copy of WWII Marine Fatigues that are simply outstanding for $85.00. They are built to take a beating and are made here in the USA. I have been to their facility and bought a number...- Shoe-nut

Has everyone gone comfy shoe mad?
Here is a real man's shoe! English John McHale and very heavy but surprisingly comfortable.- Shoe-nut

Cowboy boots
Just an observation living as I do here in LA that the trend of wearing western is rather out. Save for the traditional Mexican style worn here you will look like a nerd wearing them. Howard & Phils Western Stores used to permeate many of malls 15 or 20 years ago but they are all gone now. If...- Shoe-nut

Holland & Holland
Over the years I have seen a number of vintage H&H and Purdy double rifles. Those rifles worn in and mellowed from careful use show positively there is something about old world craftsmanship that can not be equaled today. As a fact many guns being made today obviously shoot quite well for your...- Shoe-nut

liquid plumber/drano
A cheap snake from the hardware in far better than those crappy products. They only work about 25% of time on the not so serious problems. A snake almost never lets you down.- Shoe-nut

Record sale of used Lobbs on eBay
Indeed, it is about time. Those shoes have been on and off ebay for at least a year maybe more. He should have taken the first bids he got in the beginning which actually were higher than what he finally accepted this time around. At one time he actually had these shoes as high as $10,000.00...- Shoe-nut

G&G Shoe Appreciation
Note also the effeminate canted heel. I'm comfortable with who I am. While at the EG Trunk Show in Beverly Hills last weekend I took note of the suede shoes that they were offering which were rather nice. But these are light years ahead of what I saw I only wish suede wasn't so hard to take...- Shoe-nut

The $10,000 dollar Panama hat
Shoe-nut, if you can . . . watch THE LETTER. Superb crime drama with Bette Davis, and Herbert Marshall. Lots, and lots of Panama hats, great looking clothes, lush locations. Set in Malaya. Tomasso, thank you for your expertise. Looks interesting I will have to do that soon. I do love those old...- Shoe-nut

Breaking-in new shoes
Breaking in new shoes is relative to an almost infinite number of variables. If you think about it, trying on a shoe is really never an indicator of how the shoe will ultimately wear on your foot. The fist few steps around the shoe store are a rather problematic evaluation not always perfect. I...- Shoe-nut

The $10,000 dollar Panama hat
For what it is worth one definitely should not go overboard on one of these hats. It is only a hat and hats take a beating in the wearing of them for sure. This is why when it comes to straw I only wear the ordinary ones. Sure a nice Panama is a great hat but as has been stated earlier they...- Shoe-nut

The $10,000 dollar Panama hat
Hat is from the 40's or 50's but that is only a guess and the leather hat band has the marking Genuine Montecristi with no maker showing.- Shoe-nut

The $10,000 dollar Panama hat
I got involved in this Panama Hat thing many years ago and I can't say I understand what all the fuss is about. Now that I own a few and seldom wear them I don't feel that the added expense is worth the end result. Very few people have ever taken note of them only lumping them together with any...- Shoe-nut
