I fired it up today and finally did a little steaming and shaping on a scratch built hat project thats been sitting around incomplete for a while... I love this Jiffy thing! Now I need to fit and sew in a sweat, and do an edge binding so I can claim its almost a hat! Glad I spent some time with...
Got a package in this afternoon with a great hat accessory for fall / winter.... A nice leather vest for concealed pistol carry. ( a Coronado Leather Co vest and a $28 Goodwill score!) Its a perfect match for the Akubra Metropolitan. Ill have to test out some other bigger brown hats tomorrow...
Woo Hoo! I finally got my new Jiffy Hat Steamer in today. Sooooo much better than a hand steamer or teakettle.... My question today is " HOW HAVE I LIVED WITHOUT ONE OF THESE FOR SO LONG!?" LOL

Cute little short brim Black Champ Featherweight came in today. In really nice shape but....... this original owner must have really wanted to keep it and owned a magic marker lol
