Dorfman advice

Post by Indiana jax »

Ok, I need some serious input. I have 3 hats, a dorfman fur, a fed IV, and a vintage(?) cowboy hat(which is now a fedora. I built a block from styrofoam and re-blocked my cowboy hat a few times, and it looks phenominal. \:D/
I tried my dorfman and It just turned even more tapered and the brim warped slightly. ](*,)
Does Adventurebulit reblock hats, and if so, would they do a dorfman?
Or is there a good way to fix this on my own? is there a good technique for stretching the hat?

You'll have to contact AB and ask, but I doubt Steve does. I would imagine that he only reblocks AB's only. But this is just my opinion/guess.

I know you can contact John Penman with Penman Hats. If I understand correctly, John does not reblock all brands of hats (some brands are so cheap, a reblock would split the felt).

Call John Penman.
