I have been watching your videos for a while now and have learned so much about shaping felt and straw hats. Your instructions are easy to follow and I like how you define the process. I bought a new hat off of ebay and when it was delivered, I saw that the brim in the front had a sharp crease in it, probably from the box being thrown around. So I am going to try and work the crease out using your techniques. Thanks for your great videos.
Went to boot barn the other day. Was gonna get the rodeo king 25x open crown and shape it. I ended up getting the Bailey Dirk 10x . Probably gonna go back and get the rodeo king also.
I ordered a pre-owned hat on-line and unfortunately it was banged up pretty good in the shipping (no fault of the person who mailed it). I am going to have to completely re-do the shape of the brim. Can I lay the hat face down on a table and flatten the brim completely. Should I steam the brim first? What would you recommend as a solution to repair and reshaping the brim? The crown is actually in good shape so I won't need to repair that. Thank you for all of your straw and felt hat videos. I certainly have learned a lot. Hmmm; possibly an idea for another video!
This may be a stupid question, but should a new hat be symmetrical? I am on my second hat and both had very noticeable symmetry issues from front and back. 1st hat was a Stetson felt 30x "hand made" (more than likely defect hats they are rebranding as "hand made") and the second is a resistol George Straight 10x straw. I have worn hats in the past and don't recall these issues.
Can a Stetson Open Road Shantung straw hat be shaped? I would like the lower the front & back brim. I understand that shantung straw is basically paper. Thanks

I love the way you shaped it! No offense, but it's way nicer than the one you are wearing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!
Well done! Great job on that straw!👍👊

I usually spray them with starch. Hair spray also works well.
