    Hat storage

    I'm going to live in the states next year, and I have about 20 hats that needs to be stacked away somehow. I haven't got any hat boxes, and I need an advice on how to best store them for a year without use? Is there any sort of plastic or something that they should be wrapped in? :eusa_doh...

    Help with hat bulk

    Recently I got a stain on my new wool fedora. I cleaned it with a wet towel. And when the spot dried it seemed to have shrinked a little bit, because now I have i small "bulk" on the edge of the brim. Is there anyway to fix this? Do I have to steam the whole hat to make it shrink evenly?[huh]
