    I've found that a good hat fits with any suit . Difference being, change the hatband to match the suit.

    That's kind of what I'm thinking. It's about the finest fur felt that I have touched. So I find it hard to believe the manufacturer didn't take credit, but that's the boat I'm in.

    The Trials and Tribulations of Hat Stiffener

    I'll still have to add sizers if I plan to wear it on a windy day. However if I get the crown stiff, it will sit where I like it. I'm thinking of giving it a gambler style crown with a deeper inset to hold the hat away from my ears

    The Trials and Tribulations of Hat Stiffener

    Yes, it's a quarter size too big. Stiffening the hat is just a work around to get it to fit. I've had some luck with Kahl hat stiffener but with this particular hat, I wanted to try shellac. It never hurts to learn different methods.

    So this is a hat that I found at a thrift store. The emblem inside is very similar to a Resistol but I can't find any definite examples. Does anyone have any clues as to what it may be?

    The Trials and Tribulations of Hat Stiffener

    Maybe I need to read more threads but has anyone developed a formula for using shellac flakes and alcohol. I'm trying to restore an old Stetson that won't stiffen with alcohol alone (which I have done in the past) I keep finding amazing deals on old hats and want to restore them without doing...
