Single post vest pins
I haven't seen this question addressed as yet. But I've gotten a few vest pins, dealer pins or otherwise, that only have one post on them with which to secure them to the vest. Does anyone have a clue as to how to put them on so they don't spend all their time spinning around? I hate looking down and see a pin upside down or sideways because the manufacturer decided to save a few fractions of a cent by only installing one post instead of two! I guess SuperGlue is always an option, but I hate the thought of doing that to the leather. Any ideas?

Pull off the little clasp and throw it away. It'll only get lost eventually anyway. Position the pin where you want it, and then bend the pin down hard on the inside of the vest. This will keep you from losing it, from it spinning, and from you getting stabbed when the clasp falls off.

Too funny. Second best laugh of the day so far. 
Another answer: If you can find any old tie-tacks, the backings that you have to pull up to get off work better and last longer. Course you'll have to find someone that owns a tie ... good luck with that.
