Show us your TIES
You are correct on the same design. No Labels and both kind of odd. They are knit or appear to be, almost tatted, I guess. Of what Material, I'm not sure, it doesn't feel like wool, it's almost a rayon-y feel. They're a bit short, about 47" and it's difficult to discern which is the front vs...- Spw4922

Suspenders and the Questions Concerning Them
I recently received a set of 46" Long button suspenders that I really like. The problem is, they are about 2-3" too short for me. There is no "let out" in them but I was wondering if a longer yoke shaped attachment could be used to replace the one at the back of the waist to gain those...- Spw4922

Shoe shine:Do your own or take out??
Well, instead of grumbling and wondering why my self shines always turned out less than my expectations, I grabbed 2 pairs of shoes I thought beyond salvage, applied the shine, let sit, Brushed, Let sit, and finally spat upon them and used a chamois cloth. My Goodness!!!, It actually...- Spw4922

Shoe shine:Do your own or take out??
I shine my own, but I really haven't gotton the knack for it. Hints, Links? Also, how to clean a pair of brown & white spectators? What should a shine cost at a stand? I got asked if I wanted one the other day at the airport in Phoenix but I didn't have time. Is there a proper% to tip also? SPW- Spw4922

Buying first Panama
Many thanks for the answers.As much as I love the $100+ choices on Bob's site, the discounted ones are much more palatable price wise for me at this point. It appears the $9 choices are no longer offered but I see that free shipping for the USA is now the norm. Seems to be a wash. Love the... -
