..it's an old draftsman's trick, used to clean up any residual graphite smudges on a drawing. But, as hats are much the same as fine paper,(that is to say , that they are made up of fine natural fibers) then it would follow that you could use it to clean a hat without causing damage.

Danger, you have enough common sense for three people. It's good to have you aboard.

I thought I'd try it

Well, for the sake of experimentation I thought I'd try the sourdough technique and post some before/after shots.

Here is the before photo of my superb condition Stetson Whippet:

Much to my dismay, the hat will never be the same.

After the sourdough rubbing :cry: :

A lesson learned...

One of the things that amazes me about this place is obscure references people come up with...Euell Gibbons! That's someone whose name doesn't come up to often (o.k., never)....;)
