I have a Herbert Johnson Poet, I picked it up right before Richard retired. I am thinking about trying to age it but I am a little worried as replacing it would be difficult. Does anyone have any advice on how to age/shape a hat to get it screen accurate and give it a good weathered look?
I know people typically use Fuller's Earth to give it the weathered look, but has anyone else done something similar to their HJ and do you have photo's you could post?
Thanks,
Belle

As a former student and now a tenured professor at the Michealson University of Natural Distressing, I can give you a page long thisis on how simple wear can do the job.
If you wear your fedora and go out there going things and just living life large… you’ll find your fedora will build character as quickly as you will.
