Ahhh, a long black coffee with half and half. Sipping my indulgence under the brim of a Champ. Feeling like a Champ.

Cheers on a TAR Friday in Minnesota, USA, Eric -

I was wearing a twin just last week, Eric. Great hat!

1950s Stetson 3X today while the Twenty-Five liner soaks in the sun for a little while. I have washed the liner twice but the sweaty sneaker stench lingers. I’m hoping some sunlight will help.

I love this 3X, 3-ply western and have worn him hard over the years. The felt is just about bulletproof - unfortunately the sweatband is not (though it was pretty darn tough) and now needs replacing.

The JBS Twenty-Five liner looks good after a few washes, but the stench is entrenched like a Plantagenet.

Some of us have had luck tossing things in a box or bag with either coffee grounds or baking soda. We have a couple of threads on odors but I'm too lazy to look for them.

Sunlight helps, tho.

A terrific ensemble, an awesome song, and a history lesson! Your posts are ALWAYS exceptional, sir!
What a compliment, my wife Tina read it, smiled, and said: "But you can't make your shirts." Dress making is her hobby, and very good at it she is. My wardrobe of handmade shirts, trousers and so much more, is testament to the lady's talent.
Not that she did that professionally, retired now, my wife devoted her time and skill to others. She was a paramedic in the ambulance service.

Great looking 3X, Nathan.

Jim gave some good advice re the liner to your Twenty-Five. Personally, I'd just let it hang outside on the washing line for a few days / weeks. Fresh air often helps.
