What Hat Are You Working On Today?

[RickP]

Finally got the tears and holes closed up and stabilized. New liner will hide all the ugly parts. Used some grosgrain thats a close color match to glue in place. Amazes me that its made it as far as it did without the whole top of the hat falling off ( there was a total of about 3" of unbroken felt scattered around the top of the crown holding it together). Lesson of the week is never let anyone iron sharp edges into a bash..lol

Got everything rolled down pretty flat. at least its stable now. Plans are to shave off some felt fuzz from inside and pack it into the three spots of missing felt where the grosgrain shows through. Ill get cracking on the brim binding the next couple days...from a few feet away its looking way better already
