    Any tips on blocking shaping a hat?

    I think I stick to what working for now.. I in Sacramento right now and i kind sad we don't have any good hat stores that do blocking. I fond local western shop that helped in stiffing but they don't have much knowledge of Fedora hats even when they carry Stetsons fedora styles. But i think...

    They should have said some about the image and listing being wrong.. show that they are paying attention to images when listing. I understand not wanting to try again. Once burn twice shy some time the better stand.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I'm of two minds with ebay buys. On one hand, I hate to pay a top dollar knowing I could likely never sell it and recoup my $$. On the other hand, sometimes a hat just comes up that you feel like you MUST get no matter if you pay on the high side and could probably never resell it for that price...
