Gentlemen:
I have purchased some nice hats on e-bay that I would like refurbished - i.e., cleaned, blocked, ribbon replacements, etc. In one case there are what are probably moth nibbles on the underside of the brim that I could ignore or have repaired if feasible.
I know people love Art, but he is not available. The hats all have bound or welted edges, which Fedora says takes him out. They would have been my first choices. Do any of you have other recommendations? I would appreciate it if you could post or PM me with specific experiences and roughly what you were charged for these services.
I am aware of Optimo as a possibility and would love to hear about experiences with them for this purpose. I have already done a search of the site and came across Daryl (aka Kentucky Blues) Bogie Cavanagh shepherded through Optimo by Zohar. More details on that would be good to.
Thanks all. My office is now filled with hats. I would love to send some off.
