Mr. Miller makes a fine looking hat, Jim.

Other projects completed and the hat cleaning continues. I have struggled with my light gray vtg. Borsalino Super Feather Weight. Great light weight felt and condition, but the hat shows dimples, dents, wrinkles folds, creases.... you get the idea. I have given it the naphtha bath and as soon as the distillate evaporates I will begin BIG steam while it is on a block. Perhaps the remaining (stiffener - shellac) will take hold. I do love the idea of the felt and detail quality of this hat. The green leather band reminds me of a green Bianci racing bike I owned long ago.

Thanks, I've done worse. Was working a green horse yesterday gathering the cows, we crossed water once early in the day and he did fine. Had to cross a 25' wide river later in the afternoon, got about halfway through when he came unglued. Softball size bruise on my hip, gash down my shin and a few other aches. Worked him in the water until he settled down, then we crossed it a few more times. Gathered the herd and went back to work.
Rub the wounds with tequila, then, after rubbing them, drink 5 to 7 shots of tequila and you will feel great, or was it drink it before?

Well to be sure drink it before and after, wash it down with a cold beer and you will see the results very soon.

Get well !
