    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    I am calling this Fedora the Pyramid of the Moon 1976! The ribbon treatment is just superlative and really adds panache to the hat. I asked Art to do a reverse ribbon of this hat and this is the result the color is a tad off in the PICTURE, the hat is gray and the ribbon is gray/maroon...

    Stretching

    shoe stretch {if you mean the liquid used to stretch shoes} that should work. I would think it would be best to wet the leather then steam and stretch. the shoe stretch liquid will allow the leather to lengthen and when dried, be longer. I have used that stuff to make bunion bumps on shoes...
