It came in last night but I didn't get to photo it, will do this weekend. You are a true hat clairvoyant! The crease has left a serious soil ring around the top. I hit it with an orange sponge with little success. The previous owner had to be a pipe smoker as it reaked of that. The felt is nice & the sweatband is in good shape, no liner present.HarpPlayerGene said:That's the way, cowboy! lol
Seriously though, I like the rough good looks of that hat but I'll bet there will be lasting soiling to that top crown edge and the best adjustment to the shape will be just to pinch the front and keep that crest area pretty much in the same location.
If this one were my size and coming to me, I'd also put it in the freezer for a day to make sure no cooties survived, comprende?
Be sure to show us the gory details when you get it, OK?
I'll play with the front pinch like you suggested & see how it looks. It may get a naptha bath as well. Thanks Gene & stay tuned.
