How do Borsalinos rate for newsboy caps.
Who makes the best production newsboy caps?
I've been wearing fedoras and panama type hats for years but I think I would like a few quality 8 panel caps. I'm a 7 5/8 so vintage might be hard to obtain. I just need a little education.
What is the best way to reshape a linen cap. I don't think I can iron it. Should I steam it like a felt hat?
I use steam & a block, you can use a small steel mixing bowl if you dont have a block.....
NOTE !, do not steam the leather sweatband, keep it clear of the steam
the Linen might get wet so try to not saturate it with too much steam ...
its fabric not furfelt so light steam
I would not iron linen but i do iron wool & cotton caps....
after stuff the cap with something to fill out the body. (i use a old t shirt)
so the body does not cave in & wrinkle up again.....
Take your time.....dont rush it, good luck
Cool little cap from jolly ol' England.
