Aren't those just the best ones. I love getting a box in the mail as much as the next person but it's a special treat to stumble on a quality old hat that fits when you aren't even expecting it. And to save big bucks to boot. Congrats!
FYI, when using any method that actually WETS the hat, I go ahead and wet the ribbon too - but I do it fully, otherwise it may leave a tide mark.
I have noticed that the grosgrain relaxes when wet and then tightens up as it dries. This gives an opportunity for slight stretching of the hat...
Sorry to hear that you over-did it with the tea kettle. Perhaps, though, this may be a cautionary tale to others.
There is really no reason to remove the liner and place any hat over the steam output of a kettle. If steam is deemed necessary for reshaping, just bathe the outside of the hat in...
