The silvery clip of scissors. The scent of talcum and tonic. The game blaring on the radio. The lazy rhythms of friendly conversation. In Do Bald Men Get Half-Price Haircuts? Vince Staten perfectly captures the atmosphere of the classic barbershop and the special place it holds in the hearts of American men.
Staten visited more than three hundred barbershops, in towns ranging from Chowchilla, California, to Mount Airy, North Carolina. Displaying a great ear for dialogue, he re-creates the banter in a family-run Italian shop in Louisville, the relaxed jokes shared at an African-American barber's in a quiet neighborhood in Nashville, and the familiar conversations about local politics, the new baseball coach, and the meaning of life that make it clear why the barbershop is the communications hub of so many communities. In a wonderfully entertaining exploration of the history, secrets, and social contributions of barbershop culture, he provides answers to such pressing questions as: What's in those hair tonics anyway? Why are the stripes on the barber pole red and white? Why not a barbershop trio?
As in his earlier fascinating tours through the hardware store and the phar-macy, Staten combines a highly original sense of humor with a keen eye for telling detail. With Do Bald Men Get Half-Price Haircuts? he treats readers to an unusual, warmly nostalgic, and often hilarious tour of an enduring corner of American popular culture.

Great Quality - Son loves it!
Size: Large, Color: Black
I ordered this beautiful Western shirt for my son for Christmas. He loves it so much he wears it once a week. The quality is excellent. The fabric is relatively thick, but not too thick - a nice, sturdy fabric. The embroidery is absolutely beautiful! It looks even better in person. The large fit him true to size, like all his other size large men's button up shirts. There are no loose threads or flaws in the stitching. It looks and feels expensive - well worth every penny of the $40 price. It has held up well in the wash. There has been no fading or shrinking. It is now March and it has been washed once a week since Christmas. (Please note - I don't put it in the dryer. I hang it to dry.) I highly recommend if you are looking for a fancy Western shirt.

Got more than I paid for and am so impressed!
Size: Medium, Color: Burgundy, Size: Medium, Color: Burgundy
Absolutely stunning! Great material quality and embroidery work. Every bit the same as those you'd buy at Boot Barn or other western stores for $70 to $100. I'm so impressed!! I purchased these for my son's band (4 shirts for 4 band members) and the band members love them. This saved me so much money. I'm so happy with them and plan to purchase more of these in different colors and styles. The men said they're comfortable and love wearing them.

Size 3XL was correct. Fitted to arm length.
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Khaki
Most important- I was hesitant on this as a 3XL from the USA is very different from a 3XL from China. But very glad to report size was perfect! Arm length fitted nicely. So recommended. Very nice product- especially for the price!

Impressive quality!
Size: Large, Color: White
The model really made this shirt stand out for me. I ordered it, and I too looked good in it! The material was soft, of quality and had superb wrinkle resistance. It was also nice amount of thickness, preventing unwanted and awkward transparency. You know, when someone can see through your shirt. ;) I ordered a size large and it fit perfectly. The color I opted for was white, and it’s classy and complements my skin tone. Planning to buy more in the future.

LOVE THIS SHIRT !

Good quality for the price. Not a slim fit. Beautiful embroidery. Decent shirt material. Vintage vibe. Goes great with blue jeans and cowboy boots. Highly recommend it.
