Federation Deluxe Reblock Help

Post by IndyFan89 »

Where is the best place to get my Federation Deluxe reblocked? Does Akubra reblock hats?

Not only do i need it reblocked but cleaned as well. Also, the other day i was driving in my truck smoking and a peice of ash from my smoke flew up and burnt a whole in the back brim of my Fed, is there anyway to fix that?

I don't know if Akubra does reblocks, but I'm sure Steve does. You'll probably get a more accurate block and save on shipping too.

BendingOak has just put up an advertisement for doing reblocks. You might want to drop him a line.

JPDesign does the same work. There are several here on site that offer the service.

Actually as to the reblocking of other brands Steve has said...

Not much compared to some, but once you buy an AB, the reblocks bascially just cover the parts replaced, like ribbon, sweatband and liner. The labor is free for my customers.

Check out Bending Oak. :wink:
