Did you try JJ's Hat Center in NYC?
They're open currently in spite of the COVID-19 disaster.
On second thought...I dunno...that could be risky sending your hat to NYC...might pick up a rider on the way home.
For my first year (last year) in proper hats I was a part of this group.
No longer.
Love my vintage Resistol...but this year I'm rocking a Palm Leaf straw for the warmer seasons.
It's already much lighter, less sweaty and has a different aura to it.
Plus...I grew concerned about getting my...
My recent hat purchase was a Palm Leaf hat for my "Summer Hat" project.
No loss...only 30 dollars on ebay...and turned out great! Not large enough to be affected by the "Rona"...thankfully.
I originally said I'd be a "One Hat Guy"...but last summer I realized I spent a lot less time in the...
I spray once or twice on my upper chest...that's all.
I used to do the wrist-spray-rub thing but found it overwhelming...
The only person that ever compliments me on my cologne is my wife.
I think only a few times over the past 4 years has anyone else mentioned it.
Currently, I favor "Stetson -...
I would love to do that again...haven't since I was a kid.
And my kid has never done it.
14 years...should get on that asap! Maybe Amazon can deliver one to us...
Oh most definitely!!
I found something that might work though.
Painting the design onto the hat with a solution of diluted "Ammonium Chloride" and then hitting it with a heat gun!
Turns the painted pattern into what appears as burned in without applying fire!
The only thing I'd be worried about...
Good point. I can see me burning a hole in my brand spanking new Straw Hat.
Maybe I'll just stick to slapping on an embroidered patch...probably safer.
Yeah...
So I was right...Soldering iron/Woodburning iron IS the way to go.
Hmmm...I wonder how fast they could get it back to me.
Trying to wear this hat before the sweaty season comes.
Hey all,
I finally have my new Palm Leaf Straw hat shaped and fitted perfectly. After I put the paracord hatband on it, I realized I wanted to put more symbology into it. I have a shape Id like to get on it, but I don't know how to go about it. I know marker won't work, I don't want to...
SWEET!!
You rock!! Thank you!!
The wife won't be happy...but I am!!!
:D
Edit: Whoooooooa nelly....will have to save up a bit to get all the options I desire. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
I soaked my palm leaf straw hat and stretched mine slightly with my modified hat-jack....Just enough to reshape it from circular to my preferred Long-Oval head shape. I bound it with paracord around the base of the crown so that it would take the shape while drying. Worked great! It was still a...
Wow, you're a strong man...
I had to put a whole country-side between myself and my ex.
No chance of paths crossing...
I've got the full beard and bald head, but if it were the other way around...I wouldn't complain not one bit!
