i'm doing it right now. i got the gelatin and applied it to a palm leaf hat and also i am experimenting with it on a natural straw hat too. thank for video!
sweetp- he said to buy food grade gelatin. it's in the groc store next to the jello. he's right too. the gelatin really firms up the straw hats. i did it to a mexican palm leaf hat and to a natural straw hat. worked absolutely great on both hats. i wanted the hats really stiff. so, i did 3 applications sun drying completely after each application. gotta say... he's correct. it does work great. hope that helped.
Clearly Lime for a Florida-Cracker Cowboy, Lemon for the West coast US, but would you recommend for the American Mid-West, Cotton Candy? I'm from New England originally, we use Concord Grape. 😉 (seriously thank you for this, plain gelatin obviously 👍 how does it stand up to rain showers?)
I don’t understand how he got the gelatin to dissolve in the water so easily. The kind of gelatin we have around here has to be stirred into boiling water slowly for at least a couple minutes. What brand is that?
Straw hats are frail. Here’s a tip to make them durable and extend their useful life. Casual hats see things cold weather fur felt hats and dress hats never do.
Its like glue or tape. The straw fibers are held together and the end result is a nearly indestructible hat. Good in dry climates where the straw literally can’t retain moisture and starts crumbling.
Really informative video. Thank you for taking the time to share... Subscribed.

Does this process not yellow over time? I guess that doesnt really matter for work hats, just curious
