What you want is the moisture from the steam, not the heat. It is certainly possible to taper a hat in this way. A reblock might fix the issue. -
This Made Me Feel Guilty About Wearing Fur Felt Hats
Well, I would not be so self assured that the US treats animals in a significantly better way. Slaughterhouses in particular have been known to be some pretty awful places. And if you eat veal.... Look, I am no fan of PETA; and I think Ingrid Newkirk is downright batty most of the time...- jlee562

Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)
If it's any help, I heard back from Steve at the end of January shortly after he posted this. I cannot offer any explanation as to the uneven nature of his responsiveness, but as far as I know, he's still making hats and sending them out as best he can. -

The "Hoodie N' Hat Gang"
Hoodies are my wardrobe bread and butter. Here's a typical style of outfit for me, hoodie layered under another jacket because I get cold easily (I have a longsleeve thermal on under the tshirt too!). -
The School of Hard Knox
Nice D'Orsay curl, they sure don't make 'em like that anymore. Congrats on the score! -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
My VS Playboy got it's first rain a few weeks ago, so I took the opportunity to tighten up the crease a bit, and finally got around to taking another picture. Still loving this hat. Took this pic in very full sun, which highlights the the suede finish, and you can see the contrast stitching... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Thanks David, I'm really liking this one and get a lot of compliments around town with it. As best I can figure, even folks who don't know anything about hats can just tell that this is a nice one. I think that's the best testament to Art's work. With all of his hats you can tell that it's... -
What to wear with a fedora....
This "Hollywood man" seems to like that look: -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Have kept a low profile because Photobucket STILL hasn't worked out the all the bugs and I can't easily resize my pictures, so apologies for the obnoxious size. But, joining in on the Fawcett Friday fun with my one and only (so far!) VS. High angle shot today; with the sun shining, you can see... -
Anyone here own one of Panama Bob's "The Indiana" models?
I like! Not the finest weave, but hard to beat that price. -
Choosing the Correct Hat for your Body Type
I've adopted the lounge motto of "wear the hat, don't let it wear you." If you feel like wearing a suit all the time, more power to you. For myself, I don't feel as if that particular style would really be an authentic expression of me...if that makes sense. And I'll second Justin's comments... -
Choosing the Correct Hat for your Body Type
One widely circulated guide: http://artofmanliness.com/2008/05/28/the-perfect-hat-for-your-ugly-mug/ Another: http://www.fabulous-hats.com/man-face.html The best advice is to try a bunch on and figure out what you like. -
Homburg Nation
Actually Bruno, I think the proportions work quite well on you. Although it's probably better matched with a different color sweater. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I actually think the "shaggy" look compliments the hat's overall style. Cool ribbon too! -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Jeff: that's a killer CB, congrats on that score. Alan: another wonderful Homburg. That color combo is right up my alley! Tom: Great ribbon on that Lee, and a dapper combo with the shirt and suspenders too. -
Ask a question, get an answer
I'd bet you could land 4 vintage stingies on eBay, all of which would be of higher quality, for the price of that Borso. A modern Borso is a decent hat, but like Stetson, they're banking on the history of the Borsalino brand. You'll get a nice hat if you buy that one. But with hats, the old... -
Ask a question, get an answer
If a stingy is what you're after, my suggestion would be eBay. Vintage hats are simply of better quality, and you will most likely save money. Especially if you're looking at the prices of new Borsos. Posting a link would not violate any rules.
