Dang, good job, Tobus. you made a really good choice in your bonnet purchase.
I was so inspired by Jock, that I took my green bonnet and rewet it, let it dry after i beat it up, and reshaped it. I've been wetting my bonnets for years, but I haven't always done that second soaking, and it really makes a big difference.
I gotta say--the green one looks much better now, and I'll get a photo soon to prove it.
I even worked on that surplus Black Watch blue bonnet I bought my grandson, and it looks just pretty slick. I'll be sure to post pictures of us in the St. Paddy's parade after Wednesday.
Heck, I may have to buy a new bonnet just so I can do it again!
