OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

[Pellie]

Knocked some dust off, trimmed a bit of damaged edge off and steamed it up a bit on a hatblock and brim block.... Little bit better. First observation is that with wool a LITTLE steam goes a long way and gives it a mind of its own lol. At least until I figure out what to do with this poor thing, its not so embarrasing on the wall. It was ugly enough that I COULDNT leave it alone.

Guess I could always, iron the brim flat, sew on a row of dingleballs on the edge, burn a couple brands in it, and stick a big feather and kitchen match in the band... Someone on ebay might pay $1000 for a custom hat
