Nice job.
Buy a spray bottle at a 100 yen store, fill it with water, and drench the leather and surrounding areas in spray, including the back side of the leather. Repeat three times, after letting it dry naturally. You will have a perfect fit. Believe me, patience, and it works to downsize a...
It’s landed! My 1930’s fedora again with superb work and service by Michael - finest in the hat world, hats off to you Sir.
This time I had heard of the possibility to acquire a European Fepsa beaver felt, and I jumped on the opportunity. Moonshine is the colour - a grey with some blue...

Thanks for the comments - and hats off to your fine hats by Michael, Sir.

The new one is a Fepsa beaver felt, I believe no longer available, but ordered with information obtained on this site earlier this year - the Moonshine...
