Oh, yes. Sorry. The Midwest. I know of Optimo, but I think I read that they aren't really doing simple services like that any more.

Check with Scott on Etsy ...FineVintageFedoras….out of Wisconsin. He does good restoration work. Another hatter is Tim at AlleyKatHats. He is on Etsy as well and advertises that he sells ribbons....he is in PA. Another CheeseHead is the BrassRooster out of Milwaukee....it is a bricks and mortar hat shop.Oh, yes. Sorry. The Midwest.

You can’t beat the prices and quality at VS, but the shipping to Oregon might tip the scales. You might also have more of a wait than you’re ok with.
Spot on 100%. I have a 50"s OR that has been with David since December, but it is coming back to me next week.
I have to say, the wait has been completely worth it because I know my hat is going to be restored properly.
With the recent acquisition of VS things have slowdown a bit, but David told me they were kickstarting production this week.
Hmmm. David has had two of my hats for repair since October.
Mine was a simple sweatband reattachment, but I couldn't tell you how they prioritize their workload.
My work is more involved than just a sweatband. I spoke to David in January and he said I was still two months out. Once the transition problems are resolved I’m hoping it will be back to the fast service I got used to.
Ça fait beaucoup je trouve 1cm sous le sweatband.Pas pour si peu. 1 cm est vite comblé. ( une taille de chapeau = environ 1 cm )
Cela dit, si tu as des liasses qui traînent..... je suis preneur.

It's a 1950s-era Harley-Davidson biker cap.
I wore an old Stetson 3X Beaver Gun Club fedora into work and was laughing about how not only do I have Grandpa's hat but I probably bought his car as well.
Imagine my horror when I come back to my desk and a moth flies out from the credenza where I put the hat. Gigundo office building with lots of tasty dividers to chew on.
I guess it'll be stick hats at work inside of a plastic garbage bag and get some cedar balls unless someone else has a better idea?
Yes, I know, retire but that's still a few years away.
