I have the liner out, it had been glued.Aureliano said:Did you see my thread about fixing the whippet?
The liner of my this hat was stained by a sweat mark!. Granted it was already detached but just remove it and lightly wash it with woolite in lukewarm water. They let it air dry. don't twist it or anything because it'll wrinkle. Just let it sit and the sew it back when dry!

I haven't seen that thread on the whippet but I'll look for it[huh]
Thanks. Just sponged it well, just short of re-pouncing. Going to hot-block it and while it cools I'll wash the liner.Aureliano said:
Aureliano said:Yeah, I think the model is coast to coast. 50s probably...not 100% sure though. Ask Jimmy, or Dinerman, they are the dating gurus!

6th Apr 1944 - Price $7.50...
13th Sep 1953 - Price $7.50
22nd Apr 1954 - Price ??
My guess is a little later than the ads pictured.

Not really a re-block but I am not sure what else to call it. I have come up with a method of doing a hot block using the oven, kettle and a sizing block.billyspew said:Looks great Woody!:eusa_clap
How did you do the re-block so quickly, where did you get the block?
