The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}
I have tried pushing up, using both steam or just wetting and cannot get a smooth looking dome like the one's in the pictures. -
The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}
Are you saying you just got a dome shape, like an open crown, then use it to preserve the center dome and form the rest of the bash by hand? If so I had not thought of doing that. -
The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}
Well, I like the shape of that hat shaper crown and am looking to order one. I wear a 7 1/4, or 58cm (22.8 inches) long oval if I can find them. Their medium is 23 inches, the small 22 1/2 . For shaping with the sweatband in what size should I get? -

How well does that hat shaper work? From that picture it looks good. -
Show us your Guns!
Don't forget the tables of jewlery, and cheap printed T-shirts. What does all that have to do with guns. Once in a while I come across something good, like the little sleeper of a Ruger #1 light rifle in 7x57 I found, excellent metal but the stock finish was clouded so you could not see wood...- jkingrph

9mm or 45cal
Agreed. I fell prey to the notion that some of the dry lubes would work in my Colt Sporter ( AR-15 type). They did not and it would not function. A quick oiling and cycling by hand a few times and all was well. I just updated the safeties on my Ruger #1's to a model than not only looks...- jkingrph

HERITAGE grade Akubra Campdraft in Silver Belly Campaign
Atticus, that looks good. Remindes me of older men when I was growing up. As they say now that I is one, I'll have to get one of those straw Open Roads. I just got an e mail back from Hat's Direct and they will bash the Campdraft for me as I have bought from them previously and they know... -
9mm or 45cal
Beautiful! If I did not already have so many would look for one of those. My first handgun was a S&W K-38, bought it at K Mart a week or so before graduating college in 1968, an early graduation present for myself. A couple of years later one of our NCO's heard me talking and brought in a...- jkingrph

Welcome Vernon. That's a nice little PP. I have a couple of the Interarms Walthers, a PPK, .380 and a little TPH .22LR. The PPK is not fun recoil is a little harsh and my hands are developing a little arthritis. The TPH is a hoot.- jkingrph

Art, thanks, you may have pushed me over the edge into another custom. I love the two I have from you already. -
Cattlemans crease
I got one off e bay a couple of months ago, excellent shape but a little dirty, showing on top of creases mostly. I had planned on rebashing to a teardrop but It just did not look good, so returned to cattlemans crease. Last week I read here about cleaning and picked up both some Coleman fuel... -

I have tried doing a cattlemans crease and just cannot get it looking smooth and tight like the commercially bashed hats. -
Hair cuts
I had one of those "60's" haircuts. Had to join the air force iin 69 ( dodging the draft) so still shorter for basic, then starting to grow it out and OCS cuts it off again. I stayed active duty as an officer for ten years so it remained close on sides and back, then ten years later rejoined...- jkingrph

Naptha and Spray on Hat cleaner result.
I did mine yesterday, and only used the Coleman fuel. I had some regular naptha on hand for a rinse but did not use it. After about 1.5 - 2 hours drying time neither my wife or I noticed any petrochemical odor. -
Naptha and Spray on Hat cleaner result.
I was not too worried about that.. It was in good shape to start with and we shall see how it fares. If it does not hold up there is a hatter about 60 miles from here who can replace the sweat for me. zetwal, I do not understand what you mean by "pox" -
Naptha and Spray on Hat cleaner result.
I just tried cleaning one using Coleman fuel. I got a tub big enough for the hat and 4 gal of fuel, enough to cover the hat, put it in and soaked for a while. It was a Stetson Open Road 4x that I had gotten used and noticed a bit of dirt in the top. I first vaccumed it well before starting...
