Need a good hatter.

[Donny2guns]

Can anyone recommend a good, trustworthy hatter to whom I cdn send my Stetson Deluxe? I got it for a good deal great shape accept that it's missing the liner. I'm in Duluth MN and there are none close by. Thank you Russ

Get you a replacement liner, no need to send it to a hatter just for that....

Ok where can I get one? Look for a beat up hat or are there vendors? Also how difficult is it to line? I have 0 sewing skills

Some of my liners have fallen out, and now I think, so what. They don't seem to serve any essential function. But for other hat work I have had success with Greeley Hat Works in Colorado, website of same name.

Look around here for posts about millinery supplies & you'll find online places to purchase generic liners. This question has been asked & answered before. Best results come from searching with Google but specifying this site.
Few liners are sewn in these days & I usually unglue mine & just tuck them behind the sweatband when I put them back in.

I sent my Resistol to Texas Hatters for a new sweatband and liner, plus cleaning and reblocking. I was very pleased with the results and service. BTW, I was in Seattle at the time so just as far as you.
