Club Obi Wan

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

It's that kind of thing that makes me worried about trying to age gear.

All this talk about rain and the jacket makes me wonder if anyone has bothered to treat their hat (e.g. scotchguard)? Any thoughts?

Yes. It's been discussed at length and a recommended treatment for years here. You can find a lot of those discussions in the gear care section of the forum. Regards. Michaelson

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.

You could always bury it in the sand for 1000 years.

I thought Da Fuhrer was waiting to take possession?

All in due time... when I'm finished with it.
