Caboose 125 Posted May 31 (edited) What’s the best and safest way to clean off the black marks left by ejected rifle rounds on a 10X Beaver hat that is light tan in color without damaging the hat? Edited May 31 by Caboose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G W Wade 897 Posted May 31 After the winter break, seems like it turned to dust. Came off with hat sponge and brush, GW 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackwater 53393 4,270 Posted May 31 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 74 Posted May 31 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 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 529 Posted June 1 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
