Hello
I just got my hand on a fine monti Cristi straw hat. Only thing is one of the center dents is pushed out and the snap brim dose not stay snaped down. Any one have any ideas on how to whip this hat into holding it's shape like a felt hat??
Thanks

I wet mine down and shape it.
Usually wear it while it dries so I get the shape I want.

I almost forgot :rolleyes: that I have a vintage Stetson Panama that needs some massage - it needs some dents next to the front pinch. I'll give it a spritz and report back. This one has a brim that's pushing 3 inches and snaps like there's no tomorrow. ;) :D
