Anyone with good suggestions on how to soften up a stiff dress hat? Ive got a nice Sovereign fur felt Stetson Temple that is not thick or heavy but the felt is WAY stiffer than my other Temples. Ive done some steaming and wearing, and its a LITTLE softer but nowhere near as soft as some of my other Sovereign felts. I guess I could give it an alcohol bath to get rid of some stiffner, but Im thinking that would need dissassembly. Short of beating it, vibrating it into submission, sitting on it or running over it with the truck, whats the best way to soften a basically new hat?
