- one Raiders style, in 'Raiders sable', 100% beaver felt
They were a bit too big, but I loved them and wore them both a ton.
In Autumn, last year, I received two hats from Andrea Tognarelli (The Vintage Hatmaker). I put them on and, maaan, they felt amazing. I looked in the mirror and they were an amazing fit. Only now I had realized how big and ill-suiting my initial hats were. Andrea had managed to get my size just right.
This spring I decided to ask him if he also reblocks hats and if yes, if he can reblock them to a smaller size. His answer was positive so I sent the hats to him.
I got them back only a few weeks later and now they were an amazing fit. He did a great job, even managed to save me the some of the original parts.
Here are a few pics of the reblocked hats:
Andrea works really nice and he is a great guy as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a new hat or help with an old one.
You can see some high-resolution pictures, as well as some pictures of me sporting the hats, in the link below:

As always, thanks for looking!
