Disney Dorfman help

Post by Exulted Unicron »

I bought a Disney Dorfman 2 years ago and its showing signs of bad wear now. Is there anything I can do to restore it?

comparing it to the other dorfman I bought, the disney has gone kinda light brown/orange colour. Probably from the sun/rain? I dunno. The felt has also started to wear from the pinch as thats where my fingers have been to take it off and put it on.

Any help would be most useful

thanks

Fur or wool?

And oh, don't grab it by the pinch.

Well, there's not a whole lot you can do to fix the color, it's just faded. Honestly, a wool felt hat isn't really going to be worth "restoring." That's just kinda the nature of wool felt as I understand it.

Always handle your hat by the brim.
