    Another Borsalino.....

    don't complain too loudly...a hat softer than my pocket Borsalino?? hmmm-I'd like one of those, please. Understand about the sweat, doesn't take the onus of responsible description from the seller, also the color-but all in all, I think you kinda hit a solid triple at the price; If it happens...

    At last, I got myself a heated hat stretcher!

    Maj.Danger- I'm no expert by any means, I just have stretched a few (many) hats with mine. The first lesson I learned is that the sweatband will leave a mark of it's impression on the felt, if you leave the sweat in; if you do, you'd better lexol the daylights out of it, otherwise it'll curl...

    At last, I got myself a heated hat stretcher!

    I've got one- wasn't in the best of shape, and lost it's cord, but... if you use plenty of steam on the inside of the hat, crank it just tight enough for the hat to fit , hit it with more steam (helps to have a "Jiffy Steamer"), quickly slip it on the form and then crank it quickly...

    Why my interrest in western hats

    very nice indeed, having the Nutria quality embossed on the sweat. That little number would cost a pretty penny today-IF you could possibly find the felt and the hatter...closest I know of is Rich Rand, and he charges a bit; and you won't get those sleek lines, or the softened felt, either...

    Western hats

    I've got a pile of Westerns. Most of them will be going to the block-starting with a Bailey 100X in a 7 3/8, NWT amazing hat; lotsa Stetsons, most decent vintage NOS, Resistols, etc. If anyone's got an interest in larger sizes(7 3/8- 7 1/2), and all in lighter colors, please PM me or email me...
