Lol. Yes. Im "Queen for a Day."Is that a tiara? We're going to need a head shot...
That thicker walled surgical tubing would probably work pretty well. Thanks!The plastic tubes they use to clean aquariums also work well
Yours does not have the TEN X QUALITY marking?It's a moleskin finish so it is reasonably soft to the touch yet thick & stiff. That won't change by just wearing it. To the touch it feels better than say a Charlie 1 Horse, but otherwise they are very similar in quality.
I don't know what the deal is Perry. I've been looking for hats here for at least 2 or 3 years and they've been rare as hen's teeth. Suddenly there is an avalanche. Everyone must be cleaning out their attics at once. Personally I would rather find a good fedora, but I must say that for western felt this hat is very supple and pretty much shapeable without steam.Dang Michael, you are really scoring on those Westerns, they look good on ya!
Well we take what we can get right? They are nice hats and look good, so why not go for it?I don't know what the deal is Perry.

I've been going for it. But in truth I'm about running out of space myself. I think I'm up to 7 or 8 westerns now. I did buy three hatboxes today to protect some of the choicer specimens.Well we take what we can get right? They are nice hats and look good, so why not go for it?
It looks great! I wouldn't clean it, but that's me.Another local find today.
4" brim, maybe 5 1/2 or 6" crown undented. Is there an FAQ on cleaning?
The one I have does not have beaver stamped on it. It just says "TEN X QUALITY" below the crest. Don't know if it have any beaver at all, nor do I know what the ten x quality stands for.
It actually cleaned up pretty well with a brushing. It's sort of strange that there were a lot of stains on it when I finished brushing it, but now an hour later they seem to be mostly gone. Oxidized? There are a couple of worse sort of stains on the bottom of the brim that I'm not going to worry about now. The ends of the ribbon are discolored like maybe nicotine stain. I wouldn't mind cleaning those up, but again I'm not going to rush into anything.It looks great! I wouldn't clean it, but that's me.

Well actually, I thought that it looked like a uterus.Is that a tiara?
