Here is a vintage Borsalino that the customer wanted turned into a Bogeyesque fedora. This hat was in fairly bad shape, well worn, and stained. After two baths of cleaning solvent, a reblock using the Bogey fedora block, and some pouncing, the hat looked good enough to finish out. Still not pristine, but you should have seen this hat before. I have been wanting to use some wide, dark blue/green vintage ribbon that I bought last year, and this bone color looked like the canidate. So, here is what she looks like after the work.
I wish I had of got a before picture, so you could see what I started with.
Regards, Fedora
