    Scotch Guard? Scout Felt Hat Protector?

    Got out in the rain today with one of my Stetson fedora's and the brim is still flat with a little curl upwards just like before it got wet. So yes it works.

    Forgot to add this.. Sunbody Hats is great for Straw/Panama hats. Houston looks pretty good to me for hats. I would shop Miller and Sunbody if I lived there.

    I thought Miller Hats was a good co. I have looked at their website and their hats look good and priced good too. I did buy a yellow acorn calvary hat band from them and had fast delivery.

    Scotch Guard? Scout Felt Hat Protector?

    The only hat i'm sure is 100% beaver is the Stetson 100X. They are a reputable co. with no need to lie and the price is over $1000.

    Scotch Guard? Scout Felt Hat Protector?

    Hatter's can tell you anything. It's like bottled water. There is no way of really knowing what is in it because there is no regulation. As far as Stetson Fedora's I don't know what kind of fur they use or quantity but when they get soaked it will change the brim making them curl. The western...

    Scotch Guard? Scout Felt Hat Protector?

    Most hats that are fur felt aren't 100% beaver. Actually no one can tell if the qauntity of beaver that is in a hat no matter what the hatter says. In my experiences with beaver blend hats such as royal deluxe quality Stetsons rain will change the shape of the brims.

    Scotch Guard? Scout Felt Hat Protector?

    I picked up a can of Scotchgard Heavy Duty Water Shield yesterday to try out. I sprayed 2 Fur Felt and 1 Wool Felt down good. No color change. Let them dry overnight. Would I use it on my pristine dress hats.. No. But I don't wear my pristine dress hats on rainy days. We have rain coming in...

    I have just noticed here lately maybe cause i'm getting older, out of all my glasses the Browline frames look best with fedora hats. They really give that old school look that goes with old school hats.

    Looking for hat information?

    A dress silverbelly fedora always gets compliments when you wear one. People that don't wear hats can even see the quality.

    I'm an oddity here at the lounge. I don't care for used hats. I would rather start with new ones. I have thrown away plenty of old hats over the last 45 years. Never thought anyone would pay good money for them.:):)

    As far as open crown with no ribbon or binding just take the factory ribbon off and buy a raw edge. Stetson comes in a variety of colors and brim sizes with open crown fedora and western style.

    If you want a custom crease in a western start with an open crown it is much easier. I bought this Stetson Amish B because it had an open crown and 3 1/4" edged brim, and 1" ribbon band like I wanted. Then I creased the crown and brim like I wanted. I like to customize to my taste. Before After

    That's what I like about Hatco. Most of their seconds have beautiful wide ribbons that they don't advertise for public. If they do have a skinny ribbon and you want a custom ribbon they will also install one. I'm not a fan of the skinny factory ribbons.
