Has the finest Brisa weave I've seen in my rather limited experience. The sweatband and label are in great condition...looks like this one was stored away for awhile. The Optimo block is not all that flattering on me so I'm considering sending it to a pro. Based on the Disney...

Has anyone tried these hat shapers for blocks?

Great Hat Al !
