    What hat are you waiting for today?

    You do know if you ask them, they can probably source anything within the Fepsa range...they are very flexible on custom! I have my fourth on order - rabbit, but considering upgrading to a beaver... extra $80 or so....

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Thats a good deal - the issue is felt and leather has memory and can and most probably will shrink with moisture, so having a tool to bring it back into shape is vital for the hat wearer. These hat stretchers are great for the long oval head, but if you are aiming for 1cm or more, they tend to...

    Specially made for me at @silver_dollar_craft The angle of the design and weight at bottom allows it to be stuck in with a little friction. On my Hornskov at the moment
