    Rebashing my new Stetson to something less dressy...

    Form the front pinch first based on where your nose is with the hat on (I mark with a paperclip on the brim or band ribbon) then do the mule kick in the back to get the side creases going...

    Rebashing my new Stetson to something less dressy...

    I did the same to my beater OR... Took it back to open crown state first. This hat had already been taken to tear drop crease from alpine/cattleman which was some doing.

    The Open Road Guild

    The brim may be a tad narrow but I'd go for a silverbelly Premiere Stratoliner before buying a current production OR. I have a Roadmaster which is identical except for color of an OR. JMHO

    Life with ONE great Leather Jacket vs. Life with MANY Leather Jackets

    I do turn the ones I want staying dark blue the longest inside out for washing & drying. Most get washed once a month. The older ones that I wear for ranch chores get washed weekly...wash cold water, dry low heat

I've had 2 100's go thru my hands from there...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Would never try hairspray, at least the western hat stiffener was made with fur felt hats in mind. I have no personal experience with them as steam has always gotten me where I wanted one to be, either via direct steam or a steam iron. Water breaks down the shellac already in the felt but...
