Would it be heresy to have one of those 7 1/2s stretched to 7 5/8?
In no way, shape or form. Either by my own stretcher or a professional, I'll need to elongate it some for sure! gtdindycop said:Would it be heresy to have one of those 7 1/2s stretched to 7 5/8?

I'll let the pro's handle the specifics but personal experience is with non-bound westerns. I had 2 that were stretched w/o anything but steaming & putting on the stretcher at Shorty's in OKC. Edge binding could cause some funky shaping of the brim, I guess... gtdindycop said:If someone stretched a 7 1/2 with a bound brim to a 7 5/8 am I correct in assuming you would have to lose/replace the binding?

shakeshead IC, Jimmy Pierce resized a Stevens with a bound edge for me and did not affect the brim binding at all. It was more than one size up.indycop said:If someone stretched a 7 1/2 with a bound brim to a 7 5/8 am I correct in assuming you would have to lose/replace the binding?

I have two 7 1/2 Lee Trinity hats left for auction. In fact, I have several excellent 7 1/2 hats left to be auctioned.

Thanks!
