Wow, looks like some serious jocking is in order. I trust you can find a stream nearby that isn`t frozen. It`s a pretty good looking bonnet, though.

The bottom of a bucket of water with a big rock on top of the bonnet does just about as well as a stream if they're all frozen.

Supposed to rain all day tomorrow. I think I'll hang it out.

No need to go all Druid on the bonnet, just throw it in a sink with some lukewarm water and let it soak a bit. Then lay it on a bath towel, roll it up tight and wring out excess water. Put it on and shape it and wear it until dry, or nearly so. If you want to speed things up, use a hair dryer. When done you can use a sweater shaver, or whatever they are called, and shave the fuzz of the bonnet, leaving a nice smooth finish.
Of course, many of The Lairds like to wear their bonnets Pizza Boy fashion, I guess it's traditional, so if you don't do much to the bonnet, you'll be OK

I'm not sure who might be 'The Lairds' you refer to, BBoy, but most of us with years behind us just let the rain do the trick: wear the thing, squeeze the water out, hang it to drip, put it on the next day, squeeze the water out at the end, hang it up -- day after day after day. A new shirt is a new shirt until it has been washed a time or two, too, but I can't believe you really wash it, blow dry it and shave it before you first put it on. Come now! This is a head-covering we are talking about.

Not that much.... err... droop(?) Anne. Not for this lid. However, The Redhead is going to be making me a bonnet much like that.
I want this hat to maintain some shape, but right now it's still too poofy. Actually, the TOS on the lad in the front row, far right in the pic that Bruce posted (that appears to be the platoon/squad leader?) looks just right... to me.
