    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I got HEAVY pipe smoker smell out of a vintage Stetson using the crumpled newspaper trick. The paper seems to wick the odors out. Next step afterwards is to get some talcum powder & coat the hat with it. Gently work the powder into the felt then brush it off. The talc will absorb dirt & other...

    Akubra Campdraft

    +1...these cutters take a uniform amount of brim off with each pass around the brim as long as the brim edge is uniform to start with..I like the 1/8th inch version since it takes a little at a time & you can always take a little more off. No way to put it back!!!!
