    Any Suggestions for Uncreasing a Hat Ribbon

    Perhaps a press cloth will help with the shine the cloth takes the beating from the iron and conveys no shine on the original material. Anyway thanks for the info I will give it a try this weekend and see how it works.

    Any Suggestions for Uncreasing a Hat Ribbon

    I have a straw hat that has been stored improperly and the ribbon on the outside of the crown has been pushed out of shape. Can one steam it back straight or do I need to iron it back into shape.

    Was this AL CAPONE'S own Stetson?

    With all the money that man had it is more likely that he bought Borsalino rather than Stetson. But then I am not a gambling man so who knows.

    4 More 40's Hats

    I appreciate your kind words and am elated that your head is so versatile in size in that you can wear such a wide range of sizes.

    Several Hats for Sale

    Hi everyone, I am overloaded with hats and wish to move a few of them along to a new home so I can buy a few more for myself that I would like better. Bought most of these a long time ago when I was desperate to find anything I could wear. I don't want the hassel of listing them on...
