GREAT STARTING POINTS! THANKS.
Victor and Threadbanger, I need some advice,
I have a lovely felt hat that was exactly my size and the perfect shape to suit me, rather like a Victorian lady's riding hat. Unfortunately, several years ago I had a fire in my house and everything got smoke damage, including my beloved hat.
The people who rehabbed my house actually managed to clean the hat, but in the process the hat shrank. Just enough that it no longer sits right.
The style is a simple dome crown with a curved brim in back that comes down to a slight point in front.
If I were to line the hat with plastic and make a block as above, could I then add layers of something like duct tape to make the block larger? and then dampen the hat and use the block to stretch it again? Failing that, is there some other way to resize the hat?
I really love this hat and want to be able to wear it again.
