Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Savannah.
I'm hoping some of your expertise might assist.
I recently purchased a black Stetson Pinnacle. While it may not be as fine as some customs I am fortunate to own, it is nonetheless a very beautiful hat. All beaver, well-made, and nicely shaped--the hat is quite nice.
Is it possible to reshape the crown? And is it possible to do so without sending it to a hatmaker? in short, can I reshape the crown at home?
It is currently a center dent. I prefer a teardrop or diamond crown.
The current center dent looks good. Its just not my preferred shape.
Nonetheless, I do not want to ruin either the hat or the shape by attempting to perform something complicated that only a professional should do. I have shaped some brims (felt and straw) with steam etc but that is it. My hat "repair" skills are not even limited. I'm a cassette guy in a streaming world.
Welcome your suggestions and guidance.
