    I doubt that a waxed cotton can be stretched. For the wool one it's risky, too: wool felt isn't so tough as beaver or rabbit felt.

    NY Times article on city's hat shops and one on JJ Hats......

    Totally agree: I simplified the whole situation. It's a shame that the hattery art in Italy drop down to almost nothing. Once I was in the Borsalino Museum and in the factory sites of some monza's hatter (the city ancient nickname was "City of hatters")...what a shame..what really a shame...

    If it's straw you're right. If it's toquilla straw you're wrong, pardon me. I've recently reblocked by myself a Borsalino Superfino real montecristi using steam and an old millinery C-Crown block and it was as simple as the same operation with the felts. It's only a matter of quality of straw...
