Got to love the Strat, and that shirt, oh my. The lady promised to keep a look out at her fabric shop.

This bespoke hat was all but ruined when it got rain soaked, but Tina came to the rescue with her steamer device. It's just right with this blazer, and of course, the trousers that Tina made.

Looking sharp, Robert. What a beauty bit of steam can do to whip fur felt back in shape.

Thanks Joe and you are right. The steamer is an amazing gizmo, it justified it's cost time and again. Mostly Tina uses it when fabric has difficult to remove, folded impressions, it certainly comes up trumps for creating trouser creases and for stain removal it can dissolve all but the indelible.

Curious as to how Tina achieved the shape, given that we have no hat block, the lady just smiled and explained that there is a hat block, albeit in stiffened cardboard. It's inside one of my hatboxes.
I tell you Joe, I had completely forgotten about it. Old age and amnesia, common bed-fellows.
