Hat Cleaning

[dannyboyy14]

Hi im new to this forum. i am a real newb when it comes to fedoras, so im looking for some help. first of all i just bought a new fedora, it was just a cheap $40 dollar one. it is the Bailey Tino in dark brown. It is hard to find them in my size(7 3/4 or xxl) but anyway... i have this old fedora that i bought last year and i would like to get it cleaned with a new grosgrain band, stiffened, and streatched to my size. Can anyone recommend anywhere to get it done? i found a place called mrhats.com that seems fairly cheap and promising.
thanks

This is true. Spending time at the Lounge has given me the confidence to clean and hand block all of my vintage hats. I haven't replaced a liner, sweatband, or ribbon yet but I know that when the time comes, there is a wealth of information on this great board! Of course, spending time here has caused me to buy more hats, too (blessing or curse?)!
