    You Don't Wear Dirty Socks. Why Would You Wear A Dirty Hat?!?

    D'oh! I have a couple of fur felts in need of news sweats I keep meaning to send to you from here in Knoxvegas. Glad to hear good reports. Nice to have another regional hatter. I am capable of some things, but often my reach exceeds my grasp. See below. :eusa_doh: Once looked like: Now...

    New user with a question.

    Sure With a bit of steam, manual dexterity and persistence you can do doggone near anything. Felt is easier than straw. Use google advanced search for this domain and keywords like 'reblock', reshape, rebash or recrease & so on. You'll find scads of both info & opinions. And welcome to a fellow...

    Hats continue their comeback

    Hiya Cassius & may I say how nice it is to see another Georgian here, I grew up in Athens/Clarke c.7o's-9o's. I agree, a very brief window in which to wear felt down home.
