Reshaping a felt hat?

[auld argonian]

Oh, for the good old days...when you could have found a couple of men's stores on main street that would be able to do it for you.

There has to be someone...we have a guy nearby here in Chicago...I'm not recommending him because you're a ways away from here and the guy is a real @$$#0!@...he acts like it such a lost art that he's the only one who can do it.

This is a long shot but do any of the police (state or local) wear brimmed hats? Illinois State Police do, for example. One of them might know if a local uniform shop can do it for you.

So get in your car and do 90+ MPH and when the guy pulls you over, ask where he gets his hat done.

Unfortunately, as far as I know there are not any haberdashers in the area. I don't live in urban areas like Chicago or Seattle. Marquette is hours away from anything. The Michigan State police don't wear campaign hats, nor do the local cops, so that's not an option. I can ask around, but my hopes aren't high.

BRILLIANT Idea AA! I don't know about your neck of the woods but around here most any decent western wear shop has a feller who knows how to steam and re-shape hats.
