I got caught yesterday in a downpour while loading a trailer, so I couldn't just run inside. I was wearing a brown Stetson Gun Club. Before I knew it chocolate brown water was running down onto my light tan coat (and left stains that didn't wash out :rolleyes: ). The hat still looks fine, but...
Got one today while wearing the Resistol described here. I was out working on one of our trailers, and someone going by laid on the horn for a full 7-8 seconds all the while shouting at the top of their lungs. Only thing I could pick out was "horses". People in a moving vehicle are indeed...
Duh, I missed that one. I even did a search for Stetson customer service before I started posting. I'll try the email listed in your post now.
I like the band in the hat, and actually noticed the other day just how comfortable it is. It is a very occasional hat, though, so I may end up in...
Have a Gun Club Chevron that is about 9 months old, and the color around the edge of the brim is going away. I've only worn it maybe 10 times, it sits in a hat caddy otherwise and it has yet to brave the elements. Sent an email using the Stetson customer service function on their website a few...
Using what you said, I used a clipboard and my hand to press it after I steamed it, and that looks like it did the trick. By crease I meant a line where the hat was originally shaped, and remnants of it remained as a slight raised line/hump. More pressing fixed that as well, just took a couple...
Unintended benefits of getting a mashed hat. I have had the steamer for a while (bought it to remove car window tint), but have hesitated to work on a good hat. This one was perfect to try it out...I mean, how could I make it worse?
So the hat looked rough in the pictures, and I'm sure shipping in a kroger bag didn't help (they did write "Don't set anything heavy on this, please" :rolleyes: )
Once I got it unpacked it was pretty flat.
15 minutes with a brush, stiffener and a steamer and it's a decent looking...
So I got energy drink on a Resistol Silverbelly 4x hat. Now I have a stain. Ideas?
Back when I did stereo work we would use WD-40 to clean stains off silver, white and gray cloth materials, so that's where I'm leaning.
Missed this thread the first time around, picture is from this past March. Hat is a Beaver Brand I picked up in the late 80s specifically as a rain hat, and almost every time it has been worn has been in precipitation.
I never could see it really well during the scene, but I think it was straw. Seems like we see more and more hats, both on screen and on heads. Good stuff.
The post above jarred my memory. I have used these boot blousers in the past (black on the left in the image). Wide enough to cover some amount of material and the velcro makes them easy on/off. A pair will cover several inches of pants leg on the chain side.
I bet so as well. Thanks to all for the warm welcome.
That's what this one was for years...lost. It just turned up while I was looking for something else, so don't give up hope. You too may open a box of old plates and, what do you know, who stuck a hat in there?
