Hi.I am new to this forum here.I am usually to be found in the grail diary/prop section

I recently got a hat for 50 bucks.
it is the hat with the Indiana jones license

when I got it I did not think it looked anything like one of Indy's hats...
so I soakend it out and reblocked it.

I agree with the frog, but I think you shoul try a TOD pinch an gen a much better looking hat, as it's almos impossible to untaper it.

I would wet the pinch, then try to open its base like this photo and let it dry.
Here there are many Top Men experts on hats who may tell you batter advices.
(If anything I write doesn't make sense, just tell me, but English is not my first languaje, as I live In Argentina).

Pressing the pinch against a flat object such as a ruler might help to loosen it up.
