Does anyone know where I can get a hat cleaned in the Dayton area.
Thanks Ed

Check and see if Gus can do the work for you at Batsakes in Cincy

+1 for Gus, it's with the trip to Cincy. there used to be a suit store in downtown Dayton that carried a decent selection, think it was called Price Brothers? it's been a long time since I was there. they might be able to refer you to one.

on a side note, depending on what needs to be cleaned off of it, a quick dip in coleman stove fuel did the trick for me before.

Make sure you call to guarantee Gus is at the shop when you plan to go by.....

Price stores is still around. I've been meaning to stop in there. I just never seem to have the time while I'm downtown. I'll be heading down for my first trip to Batsake's in October. I'll be sure to stop at Strauss Tobacco right around the corner for a couple of cigars for the drive home.

I have had good luck with a home Naptha bath for the dirtiest of hats. I've been trying to teach myself the basics of hatting. Sweat bands, cleaning, and the like. I'd be happy to help how I can.

As an aside, new hat shop opened in downtown Dayton last night. It's called brim. I'm not sure to what extent they are operating. Sales only or actually a full service shop similar to Batsakes.
