G W Wade Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 After the winter break, seems like it turned to dust. Came off with hat sponge and brush, GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Stop by the western wear store and purchase a hat cleaning sponge. After you’ve brushed in the corn starch, use the sponge to gently scrub the hat working in a clockwise direction. Most all hats are finished in a clockwise direction and brushing in the opposite direction will rough up the felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Clean a hat...what an idea. But the hat sponges do work well. Being a darksider I have come to think of those stains as added personality to my lighter colored hats. Hochbauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being computer savvy he asked if I would help him sell his cowboy items. I’m making an effort to clean his hat to make it more attractive for someone to purchase, not impress possible new owners that the previous owner shot the dark side which he didn’t.

Hendo Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I'm curious, I was always taught to brush hats in a counter clockwise direction. That's why hat brushes are shaped ( and not ). Is this incorrect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
