Welcome to the Lounge DF, from a fellow Central Coaster. I think we would love to see some pic of the jacket as well. Hope the airing out helps. Along with the airing out you may try spritzing the inside with a little Fabreeze to get things started down the fresh smelling path.
Cheers!

Well folks, it went off to Art today. Yeah! I swear the sweatband and the stitching was disintegrated even further today when I put it in the box to ship off. Funky.[huh]
I wonder what it will look like by the time Art gets it? I'm sure it will come back a 1000 times better though.:)...
I came across this famous photo of Roosevelt (minus John Muir) in Yosemite and thought his hat looked a lot like yours.

Cheers!

Astaire: Thank you very much. I'll admit the photos do it justice. I person it's not as pretty. But, it does have potential for being a great looking hat, we just have to clean away the years of baked on dust & sweat sot see what awaits underneath. Little things like the stickers inside and the...
I got mine today as well Indyguy, as like yours it isn't in the best of shape. The felt is supurb though and the hatband is in good shape with a few stains that need to be cleaned. The brim binding needs replaced along with the sweat band, but all in all the hat is in fine shape and I can send...
Well it arived today! Wow, that was some lightning fast shipping.
It's about as dingey as I thought it would be and will need a good cleaning, stretch and re-block to fit well and look swell again. The sweat band will need a replacing since it is on the verge of disintegrating. But other than...
