For the hat makers out there...

Post by Captain Ron Solo »

Have any of you tried the forms that they sell here: http://www.hatshapers.com/ ? I would like to find an inexpensive block to reshape my Indy fedoras, and was wondering if anyone had experience with these? They have an "Explorer" fedora mold, which is their version of an Indy hat pre-form, but it doesn't look tall enough, and there looks to be some taper built in. I was thinking of getting the straight-sided dome form. Not a bad deal at $33. I probably couldn't make my own for that price.
Any ideas?

Thanks. I think I may get one. I'll document the procedure if I do.
