    How do I "break in" heavy horsehide?

    I used a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water to soak my new lost worlds HH jacket and then wore it. I also wore it in the rain which was easy to do since it was rainy season when I got it and it only took a couple of wears to feel reasonably comfortable.

    Recommend a stretcher

    After a little research, I purchased a new four way hat stretcher. It wasn't cheap ($90?) but has a done a good job on the hats that I've used it on and I haven't gotten the long oval experience.

    Replacement Lining for Goatskin Jacket

    I got a 1940's Leather Clad brown goat skin jacket. The leather is in wonderful condition but the lining needs to be replaced. It looks like a shiny green (a little iridescent) rayon (?) material. Is there somewhere that you know that I might source material like this to bring it to as near new...

    Hat Stores-a list

    There is another good store that I know of - in San Leandro on MacArthur Blvd...for those who have an automobile (no easy BART access). It's called Top Hatters and really has a wonderful selection of hats and at very reasonable prices. Now for the fly in the ointment - the couple who run it are...

    Hat Stores-a list

    Paul's Hat shop is on Geary Blvd and I've heard that it's nice but haven't been there personally. If you get out of San Francisco (BART subway) there's a good hat shop in Oakland right at the 19th ST BART station. The store is Hat Guys and they are friendly and have a wonderful selection of...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I'm new at hats and working with them so...are you thinking that water might activate a stiffener already in the hat which steam didn't activate? I had heard that you needed steam but as I said, there's a lot that I don't know yet.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I just got a 70's Borsalino and the felt is so soft that it just won't hold a shape. I tried steaming and trying to get it to set into a shape but the felt is still too soft. I've seen that there's a thing called stiffener- Scout makes some as do others. Is this the answer? I don't want to end...

    Time for another jacket - Aero, Langlitz or Vanson?

    If you really want to ride with the jacket and you don't need special sizing/have to have a custom jacket, I'd go with Vanson. The leather is wonderful and they make a great moto jacket. You could pick up an excellent used one for good money and save up for some great riding boots...maybe Wesco...
