    Got a new hat

    Hi I just bought a circa 1960s stingy brim Churchill fedora and I think it may have been mothballed or something--there's a slight smell that I can't place. Very slight. It could just be an ''old hat'' smell, since it's 40 or 50 years old. It looks new and feels stiff and new-ish (the only...

I've heard old ways (as of the 1850s anyway) of making oilcloth included Lead Oxide, which is toxic. Does anyone know if the 1950s way of making it oilcloth...
