Are you sure you never did that before? Reminds me of when I was a camp counselor and the kid who'd never held a basketball before made a perfect shot his first time playing HORSE.

I'd be careful about posting too many pics- you might get inundated with requests for custom work! That might actually make for a good show, someday, when FL has expanded into its own cable channel. It could be called "Pimp my Hat," and follow the same premise as "Pimp My Ride" on MTV, in which a beat up old wreck gets completely customized into a one of a kind luxury vehicle. If it ever happens, I've still got my dirty $3 Stetson cowboy hat...

Very nice job Duck! And the ribbon work is great.
You have a great hat that I'm willing to bet will get a lot more use now.

Duck did you simply dunk it in water and re-shape?[huh]

I held it under the faucet running cold water over the crown - rebash and wear it until it dries.

New life to an unloved hat! Congrats!

Duck, I love what you did! Unfortunately, by running water over the crown, you have now re-opened the old baptism feud over pouring vs. immersion. You have shown that, for hats at least, they both work (as does steam). Thanks, and a tip of the hat.:eusa_clap

Don't forget the "sprinkle" method!!!
