I've already heard back from Sharon and she said that she's too busy settling into her new shop to do restorations at the moment. However, she recommended the Brass Rooster in Wisconsin, to whom I've reached out. Will let you all know how that goes.

Thank you, gents. I'm in the continental US so Seattle might be the ticket. Any more suggestions would be welcome. As you can imagine, I've become attached to my hats and would like to refurb them if at all possible. Economically, I mean.

Hi everyone, I hope you have all been well. It's been a long time since I've posted but I have been wearing regularly, promise. Anyway, over the years, my hats have accumulated soil, some modest, some significant, and now I feel the need to address these three cases: two Fed IV and a...

Sorry, you are correct. It is Moonstone!

Hey Jeff! Sorry to have missed you. I really enjoyed my time at the shop and now that I know a 7-3/8 (59) long oval is the right size for me in Stetson, I'll feel a lot more comfortable ordering from afar.

Sweet, thanks for the tip, hatsRme. The big tag doesn't bother me at all and I'm happy to leave it in my first Stetson!

I am, Bob. And I feel good about working with them again. Although next time I'll be sure to ask them to do a quick once-over before ship out. Wilkey

Another couple of Akubras just came in. Fed IV and Campdraft Deluxes in Moonstone.

Replacement received! I recently received my replacement Fed IV Deluxe Moonstone. Along for the ride came another Campdraft Deluxe, also in Moonstone. The color just works well with my wardrobe. Both items are brand new, perfect, fresh from the factory. Ready for bashing and wearing. Trudi and...

Just received another shipment from Trudi at HatsDirect. My second Fed IV Deluxe, this time in Moonstone and my third Campdraft, second Moonstone Deluxe. Both came quickly and arrived in perfect condition, fresh from the factory. Now, what bash to hit 'em with? Wilkey

My converted FL Campdraft. Some days, it's a nice change of pace to wear something different. This one is a short crown, telescoped conversion. Wilkey
