My Kids New (old) Fedora!
I decided to give my old wool Biltmore from 1989 a makeover. My daughters use it as their indy hat, but of course I was never satisfied with it.
I stripped off the ribbon/bow and pulled it over a small pail. When it was dry I ironed it, trimmed the brim, tacket the ribbon back on and bashed it Raiders style. Fits the kids great and isn't as offensive to my new found "sensibilities"
Probably just going stir crazy waiting for the BIG DAY!

All the kid needs now is a mini-wested and facial stuble.
