Reblock
Hey guys, so after having my Garrison Raiders in Rabbit Felt for over year, it's begun to taper and not look so great on me (I tweaked it, but I don't think I tweaked it quite right). I have really just left it to wear with age and naturally go about it's business, but I have decided that this year is the year I need to get it in for a re-block. I'm on a tight budget, and I heard that there is a place in Saint Louis that does fedoras and re-blocks, except I forgot the name. Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent priced re-block from a hat shop in the U.S.? I'm not doing it immediately, but would love some places to consider. My plan is that I would send the hat to them with a series of pictures of the raiders hat (I'm not asking for a turn, just that once it's stovepiped shape again, they can style it right).

Re: Reblock
Have you contacted Garrison about a re-block?

Re: Reblock
Have you checked with David himself? Most hat makers will reblock their own hats at a discount. Otherwise John Penman might do it. I'm sure there are others but to get the right block shape those are the ones that come immediately to mind.
Re: Reblock
Send it to David for sure.

Re: Reblock
Oh! I was actually wanting to ask if David did reblocks. Are they decent priced?

Re: Reblock
David does provide reblocks. He reblocked two hats for me that were not his. He will certainly reblock one of his own. Check with him for timeline and pricing.
