she may have no stiffener left in the felt. tough call on that one. you can try the spray on stiffener while she's open crowned so that it won't collapse on itself....but to tell you the truth, i've never had much luck with that stuff. by that point in time, i'm usually looking for a reblock......OH JIMMY........WHATCH DOIN?

I've rebashed my Fed 4 four times now because I didn't read thoroughly enough about the "turn" (i.e. I was a noob to wearing/bashing hats).
First time - bashed it without the turn
Second time - bashed it too far with the turn
Third time - got the turn right but pinched the top of the front crease too low.
Fourth time - finally got it where I wanted it.
For what it's worth, I used warm water on the creases every time and I let it dry between. Stiff as a board and doesn't show any of the old creases.
Awesome hat I must say...
