Hey I know we've mentioned this on and off but I cannot seem to locate the relavent information in a clear fashion.

Who would be available to send a few hats to for a restoration? Did someone mention a Jimmy (Peirce)?

The thing is, I've got quite a few hats that I bought which were too small for me or needed a good clean and there just litterally is no-one on this side of the pond that I can go to.

I think it would be really helpful for the benefit of newer members and those of us who've never had a hat retored that we list off a few of these hatters (I understand Art's not doing it anymore).

Also I havn't heard Graham being mentioned for some time, has anyone sent hats to Optimo recently, or are they too expensive for refurb work?

All good leads would be really helpful.

Thanks.

this thread from last year was all about this great place in Utah called J. W. Hats. (you actually commented in this thread):

The contact info:

http://www.jwhats.com/

their site lists "Restoration" as an offered service.

Yes, that's right. I thought that was a particularly informative thread. I would love to hear about other people's experience with him and also with others working in the field.

Here's Jimmy Pierce's intro in the merchants section. I visited him a few weeks ago, and ordered a custom hat. He's a fantastic guy who does great work, at very reasonable prices.

I cannot believe I missed that thread!

I had it in my head that Jimmy was this gentleman:
