Thanks for the reply FedOregon, so it can be done. In your case by a 1/8 size increase, but there has to be a limit I would think before the hat would be distorted?
I'm new here so sorry for the lack of knowledge I'm still learning....

I hope my question was not that far off base......... Is it possible to have a hatter increase the size of a hat by blocking (re-blocking) it over a larger size hat block then it was originally?

Hat Blocking Question: How much of a size increase or decrease can you get by blocking (re-blocking) a felt hat? One whole size or less? Can you increase a 6 7/8 to a 7 1/8?

Thanks for the reply Bob and it's great to be here! "Beaver Brand hats - since 1860" is why I guessed that too. Still puzzled by the onionskin liner, I haven't seen any Beaver Brand with one but that don't mean much since I'm no hat expert not by a long shot. Wish full thinking on my part to...
Just joined - long time follower, this place is great, lots of very knowledgeable people here and the best part is the politeness and decorum! Rare in this age of the internet.
