    Stetson 100-From Blah to Bling!

    Well...I've been in the antiques end of things for over 20 yrs myself, and the rule of thumb is "leave it alone"; don't clean it, polish it, refinish, paint, strip, nada, nuttin', hands off. I want to find early pieces in original condition-and be able to turn the piece as untouched by me-very...

    Stetson 100-From Blah to Bling!

    I've got two "One Hundreds"- one by Dobbs, one Resistol; both are beautiful...but boring; love to have a refurb. done on one or both-if I can get the felt to soften up plenty. Hard to appreciate the fineness of the felt with the factory stiffener in there. Are there any DIY solutions to...

    High-priced felt

    Did anyone catch the Whippet that sold on eBay for over $600.00?? Now that's just a bit much for a $10.00 lid. Wonder what that's going to do the "market" for fedoras? Guy that sold it didn't seem to be an expert in the business, just got lucky. We should all have that kind of luck.

    How to remove a glued on hat band?

    MEK will lift tar off the road...be VERY CAREFUL if using it- eye protection, heavy duty gloves, respirator, the works-it'll take just about any glue off, but you run the risk of taking some color off of the felt, so prepare to use a larger ribbon. Don't use a hair dryer to "soften"the glue if...
