quadrogong@gmail.com Came to me crushed, covered in thick grime and dust..from a client, his childhood Cowboy hat !
This was pretty bad, but it cleaned up well,
his hat from when he was a kid,
a client found it in an attic or something, crushed, covered in dust and greasy grime..
I was able to resurrect it for free, no charge for this service!
(although he did pay to have a new leather sweatband installed by our hat Maker)

    That was when Hat Makers were a Common Business in the 60's-80's. If you wrap the Hat around your Side(Body) you can get a perfect Arch. Nice Hat and nice Metal Block Tool. That thing and the Steamer are built forever and ever. A Man and his Tools are a beautiful thing!

    I do alot of this stuff in Australia take hats that are neglected in boxes or stored on a shelf under stuff. Wish i had a hat shop full of the proper stuff to do it as fast as you can but my garment steamer and custom made hat stretcher get by. So great to see videos of older hats brought back to life.

    Thank you, I've been told I'm everything from "soothing" to "meth is a hell of a drug" I have a high metabolism and lotsa energy,when I get some coffee in me with a crowded shop..I dart around from customer to customer,and folks say,"slow down!" I'm usually pretty hyper, I'm working on it though... cutting down on the coffee etc but that's the first time my video has been called therapeutic,cool😎!!! I usually just wing it, start with a title.. Its a risk,but I like to stay real,no scripts.so u get the good along w the bad...I like it better than the slick,edited style of other channels... It's cheaper and u get to see the real me, not the scripted version I decide to show... thank you. 😃 Kevin

    The new hat band involves the hat maker, his name is “Van”, you can get a custom made band for $30, it would take some time, there is only one hatmaker and a lot of jobs ahead of you, it could take a couple of weeks for the band, but u can do anything u want.. he even has tie dyed,swirly looking ones he makes himself.. a band job is $30 and takes time, the reshaping and other stuff is fast, I’ll do it the same day it arrives...turnaround time on that is fast

    Using just steam, it'll still show little shadows of the old creases.. u would need to really stretch it over a block,while it's wet maybe sand the top clean too.going back to a clean open crown w steam alone is not easy, usually the crown gets stretched from it's old shape and the stretched parts won't un-stretch using this process. I've faked 8t before but it took a ton of work and I have the strong steam,blocks and equipment to help and even the it wasn't perfect
