My new Panama (with pics!)

Post by Indiana Strones »

I have a factory bashed Panama, and I'm trying to re-bash it in a more Indy shape. Do you think this is possible? And how? Water? Steam? Thanks for any help!! :wink:

Ok I re-bashed a little my new hat. I chose a generic soft Fedora shape, not strictly an Indy one.

Hat is a Panama Bogart by Meyser, very elegant. To bash it I used just some water to soften it a little. Crown was too low, so I raised it about 1 cm.
