Found a hat guy in Atlanta
Seriously, If I could find the equipment, I'd go into a side business of hat restoring/repair...not sure I'd want to do the custom hat making part but that is probably the lucrative part that keeps the doors open. -

I get felt squares from the craft dept at Walmart for 50 cents a square & cut them into sizing strips. Also, wet the sweatband & felt around it & let the hat dry quickly in a hot car, some put near a lamp with old fashion light bulb. It should draw in from 1/4 to 1/8. -

Cancelling Hat Orders
You are talking a bespoke item that is to your specification. Lots of custom hatters don't have a brick & mortar store to "put it on a shelf" to sell to somebody who may come by with your size noggin & taste in specifics. You entered into a contract, verbal if not actually written thru emails... -

Akubra questions
The Heritage is a denser feeling felt & I wear an older Imperial without the liner in warmer weather. Besides the Fedora Lounge special in Bluegrass Green, the Moonstone is my favorite color but it is only available in Heritage from Hats Direct. -

Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread
Thanks Moon. I have 1 in Pecan ArtLite as well. I'd go to 5 3/4" open crown if I was ordering another. Art also made a Playboy replica for me in Granite ArtLite, same but no edge binding on a 2 5/8" brim. -
