The Blind Barber Wears the Pants
If you’re this side of cool, you’ve probably heard of the Blind Barber. In New York’s East Village, it’s a place where you can get a $40 haircut or a $30 shave, accompanied by a drink.A bar with barbers. But we’re assured that the barbers themselves aren’t imbibing on the job. As co-owner Josh Boyd told the New York Times, “Barbers, razors, scissors and booze,” he said, “no.”

Changing the World, One Student at a Time
You’ve seen the headlines.Across the United States and beyond, education cuts continue to erode programs and services in public schools. As a result, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for students of all ages to acquire the knowledge and tools necessary to confront the looming social, economic, and environmental burdens they’re likely to inherit. We face an uncertain future, and now, more than ever, applied learning is key.

Hand-Crafted Surfing
Danny Hess makes his surfboards the old fashioned way: by hand, one-at-a-time, with wood. It’s his passion.
And a lot of the surfers who borrow one for a test ride end up buying one. That helps Danny keep his passion alive.
He tells his story himself much better than I ever could. In this Dockers® video, you’ll learn how Danny took a chance...and now earns his living…doing something he loves.

Khaki (Wearer) With Attitude
Dear Dockers,Thank you for reinvigorating my belief in khakis (or is it chinos?). I’ve been on the prowl for non-jean pants recently, and the pair of “Slim Tapered Khaki – Pleated in Wood Chip” I just purchased are fitting the bill quite nicely. The taper is a playful throwback to my 90’s upbringing, the pleats a nice “(expletive deleted) you” to all my flat front pants. And in general, the finishes (lining, zipper, etc.) are of a quality I didn’t necessarily expect of Dockers, no offense.
