Can a Straw hat be stretched like a felt, say from a 7 to a 7 1/8?

I don't think you are going to be able to get anyone to try to stretch a straw hat if it could be done. 
A tight weave straw hat is not likely going to be able to be stretched very much at all. I could be wrong though.
Panamabob, Art help!

You can stretch a Panama easily, no problem.
stretching a straw hat
hiya, absolutely it can be stretched, maxed out gently in any millinery shop with a self respecting milliner and a stretcher. This is not a big job, and hey if you need an 2nd opinion just ask canadave, iv'e stretched things WAY out for his giant head.
Good luck, Karyn

Hey that is right! I forgot about that.
Gee, you must have some really, really big blocks. Must be like fitting a hat for a basket ball. LOL

Re: stretching a straw hat
Now that's a low blow. Sure, I can take it when JP makes fun of my huge melon, but you'd think that the special relationship between a man and his hatter would preclude such jibes.
Ya think ya know somebody...

Gee Karyn, you have one over us since we can never get a good picture of David and you have seen the man in person. He is sort of like Wilson on Home Improvement here.
I am a 7 5/8 so it is good to have David around to make my head look small. I also just found out that my brother-in-law is the same hat size as David. That sort of takes the pressure off David because I can make fun of someone in person here. LOL He is wondering where he can find a hat that will fit him. I suppose he is going to have quite a time.
C'mon David, give hatlady a break. She has really done some great work for you. We have all seen the Milan. :cool2:
