Hopefully I'm not asking an already answered question, but the search did me no good.
I want to reshape the brim on an Akubra, probably a Cattleman, with a sort of curl similar to Hugh Jackman's hat in Australia. I really like that brim.
I read that the Jackman's hat was made from an Akubra.
I am thinking that by taking my time and steaming it/working the brim, I may be able to do it. I also thought of wetting it or steaming it and somehow folding the brim edge up around a shape, like a section of tubing/hose. After that, I can work on the overall brim shape.
Suggestions will be appreciated.
Does this sound feasible or like the pipe-dream of someone on hallucinogenic substances on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride?
