Minnetonka is a brand. They mass produce mocs. Most of them are the ankle house shoe looking mocs. But they have 2 styles of Knee High with leather soles(Side lace and front lace). I have thought...

Hey Darby - As far as hats go I prefer winter coyote. Having run on a dog sled team with that hat I can tell you it works really well. It can almost be too hot but when I lived outside that is what I...

Coogs ..I would make one suggestion .... add a welt. it will protect the stitches in mocs like this.
View ArticleRe: Where to get Moccasins and also, Period Winter hats?
Thanks Quills. I'm certainly no "moccasin expert" but I don't believe I've ever seen a welt on side-seam mocs. My husband uses a welt on the centre-seam mocs he makes at the heal, but I think it is...
