Went and joined your Amalgamated group. What a blast! My dad built his first travel trailer in 1932. I've got tons of pix in storage. When I dig them up... :)
I have reshaped a lot of hats, and never used hot water! If you take your hat to a hat shop for reshaping, I have never seen one that uses hot water! Steam from a boiling kettle will work best if you don't have a hat steamer! There is no need to damage your hat by soaking it!
Very nice & informative video. As someone who enjoys old fashioned attire, and has a relatively large head, this could be very helpful for me. Most hats I find in 2nd hand stores are way too small for me. I also really appreciate that you showed how to do this with what most people would already have at home. (If you're going to have a felt hat or a nice hat, a hat block is a wise idea.) Thanks again. :)
Do you mean around the outside or the inside? For inside, very thin, preferably kid leather is ideal. Whipstitch where the crown and brim meet. For the outside, I would make a 1/2" wide leather "belt" with a single tine buckle or roller buckle to go around the outside.
You can add whatever you like. I don't usually put anything around the brim, as it is not really necessary with good felt. I do usually put something around the crown, however. Sometimes I use grosgrain, sometimes leather. Do it however you wish!
Just found your channel, from the squirrel hunt video. You have an awesome channel.
Thanks! I have a list of video ideas that will keep me busy for years. Stay tuned, for sure!
An excellent item to cover my balding noggin. Thanks!
Love India video-bombing and stealing the show! The music accompanying the cat is purrrfect!

Interesting information. This is how I was taught and it's always worked well for me.

Montana Peak has become my favorite style. I find modern western hats to be boring.
I wholeheartedly agree!
Nice coffee pot
Thanks!
Once again another excellent video
WOW folk you do a great job
Awesome⚡⚡⚡⚡👍🏻
How would you recommend adding a hat band? I found a hat at Target that I've already changed and it just needs the band to look nicer lol

Great video.
Thanks for sharing these tips for shaping hats. Do you add any ribbon, either grosgrain or chorded ribbon around the brim?

Thanks. Yes, I meant the crown. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your quick response.@@20thcenturyadventures
