    STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH

    Stitched liner The liner was stitched; I replaced it in the same fashion, stitched and got pretty close to all the same origonal needle holes. It was my second stitch job; it turned out great.

    STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH

    A serious Naptha bath & liner cleaning The other night I posted a Stetson Soveregin; it looked great but; the hat had a bad odor to it; and the liner looked less than favorable; serious sweat stains. Honestly looked like someone took a leak in the hat; it looked that bad. The Naptha bath...

    Should I unsnap my snap brim while drying?

    drying I would flip the brim up while its drying. Although I don't know if it really matters. I'd set that hat on a white towel, never know if any print from the papertowel design will leach into the hat. In fact I soaked a hat tonight in this rain; that is where it sits now, on a white...

    Mallory Yes, the body color in the picture is pretty close to the hat itself. It is a lite Kakki color with cream undertone. The ribbon is slightly darker chocolate than it appears.

    Finding a Fedora

    Go e-Bay.... You can find a very nice vintage hat on e-Bay. Depeding on your size there just may be many to choose from. There are always lots of Vintage Fedoras in the smaller sizes especially and the prices are very decent. Just be certain of your size. And like Rick said, new stuff too.

    THE MALLORY MILE

    Mallory Tell you what Cookie, that just may be the case.:D There is no sign of wear inside on the hat at all, right down to the white bow at the back of the sweat; it is perfect, not a speck of soiling. I'm thrilled. The OPS tag has a price of $22.50, I need to look through some Mallory ads...
