    Akubra Campdraft

    I use a sprayer with distilled water like Mike suggested earlier. I wet down the crown then put it on my head looking in a mirror. Using a paper clip in the ribbon band, I center it with my nose so I can line up the center dent. Regardless of the crease, getting the center lined up with how the...

    If you want the Moonstone, then there is no choice. You have to go Heritage. If not, only you can decide if the felt, sweatband, & ribbons are "that much" better. They are better. If I was going to have only one Campdraft, it'd be the Heritage Moonstone. If I was limited to just 2, I'd have an...

    ironside on NBC is being remade

    I watched Ironsides because of Raymond Burr in Perry Mason. Don't think I'll watch this even though I've liked Blair Underwood's work in other shows.

    Stretching a hat - advice please....

    Definitely a bad idea to use a stretcher to go up 2 full sizes. I have had good success going up one size = 7 1/2 to 7 5/8. Keeping those up-sizes well trained as well as maintaining existing sizes that fit are why my stretchers are well used...

    Stretching a hat - advice please....

    No, I mean using hat stretchers to train a hat to a larger size to wear & conform to my larger size head. Don't think I used the word "wearing" at all in my reply.

    Stretching a hat - advice please....

    Yay = if you are a long oval, hat stretchers get modern hats to the shape that used to come from the factory. If you are a hard to find size in the vintage market, they let you buy a size down & train to your size. I have quite a few & use them constantly.
