Thanks Bowen. I was in a pretty dark place for a while. It seemed like everything I touched was turning sour between cleaning bucoup accumulate crap out of my shop to make it into a hat shop and more accumulated crap out of my little barn shed to have a place for the good stuff that I wanted to...- Hat and Rehat

I've dunked a few. The first time I stacked 3 silverbelly, a Silver Sand Stetson western, 2 light tan and a Pilgrim OR clone that is like a Silverbelly with a slight green cast. I stripped the leather but left the trim on for scrubbing. I used a Rubbermaid tote and taped the top with foil duct...- Hat and Rehat

Other than a character in a novel I like a lot I don't remember seeing it. Reading it, I pronounced it in my head with the first a like ah. Is...- Hat and Rehat

One more question on the Water Bloc Lee. It doesn't have a reeded sweat, but the leather is not sewed to the hat. It's sewn to a strip of felt about the size of a smaller reed tape, than that strip is sewn into the hat with a small whipstitch, not the stitch that looks like an overclock common...- Hat and Rehat

OK, I have a couple of naptha bath questions. I showed the very pristine except dirt Lee I happily picked up back in November. I was encouraged to share more of it. I did a quick surface cleaning and got some obvious stains out but it wasn't really ready to take the stage yet I found a great...- Hat and Rehat

I have worked outside much of my life even in the most brutal weather, so I am fairly acclimated to cold. I can't wear ski gloves when skiing very well because my hands soak them with perspiration. I put them on as I get off the lift but take them off in the lift line except in bitter winds...- Hat and Rehat

Here are a couple of questions: I have yet to ship a hat, though I've had many shipped to me. What shipping carrier is least expensive for something light but somewhat large and also least likely to destroy a shipped hat? The Classifieds here encourage listing vintage items. Is it also...- Hat and Rehat

New "How to make a bow" TUTORIAL by FORTINO37
I am going to revive this old thread. Many of us probably didn't know it existed and I believe we may now have a better pool of knowledge here to contribute to it. Here is a Mallory possibly from the 40s that I stripped before a gas bath. It's a great felt but very faded as you can see from the...- Hat and Rehat
