You did a good job bringing those back to life! I've never understood why folks spend all the money they do on upgraded White's boots with fancy leather or some such, then "force the patina" by intentionally beating the stuffings out of them and letting them dry out just so they look used. To...
I know some folks like their hats to be very soft, but I've had a couple over the years that were too soft to hold a consistent shape. That drove me crazy because I usually have specific ideas for each hat. So SOME stiffness is not a bad thing, in my opinion.
There once was a granite felt that had some brown in it, maybe an older Winchester felt, that I've seen in a few hats on here. It looks almost like a natural but with a little more gray. I'd love to have one of those, but everything offered now seems to be a true gray that I would call a light...

It wouldn't surprise me if most folks have given up trying to find hats in the Classifieds here. Sometimes there's not even a hat for sale to be found on the first two pages, but there's a blue million jackets and even plenty of shoes to choose from.
We heat with a woodstove and in cold weather, the relative humidity in the house can easily get down in the 20-something % range or sometimes lower, even with two pots of water steaming on the woodstove. I've never had any undue problems with my sweatbands shrinking or drying out, but maybe a...
