Yul Lose Posted November 8, 2024 Share Posted November 8, 2024 Might look at BM Franklin in Atlanta, Ga. They’ve done a couple for me and they turned out very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted November 8, 2024 Share Posted November 8, 2024 If you are going to EOT, several hatters will often attend. Depending on how well they are doing will determine if they are mad hatters or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted November 9, 2024 Share Posted November 9, 2024 The hats I wear on the ranch get stiffened and cleaned after several years. The good, custom hats get cleaned as needed - mostly the silver belly and gray to look respectable since I wear them to nice places. The Black custom stays black but gets brushed, but it is the newest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted November 9, 2024 Share Posted November 9, 2024 There's this place in St. Joseph, MO that might be able to handle that work for you, it's located @ 3601 S Leonard Rd, St Joseph, MO 64503, you can talk to a live person @ (816) 233-3286, opens 9am tomorrow (Sat, 11-9-24). There's another place in Garland, TX that might can fix ya up, they're located at: 721 Marion Dr, Garland, TX 75042 and can be reached @ (972) 494-0337 after 9am tomorrow also. Plus, they have a website: Under their FAQ section: Quote Can I get my hat refurbished: We refurbish 15X quality and above felt hats. You will need to take the hat to our nearest dealer and have them call us for a renovate number. We need the information from the tag inside your hat that tells us the name of the hat, color, and quality. The retailer will need to give you the cost of the renovations. The renovation includes cleaning, blocking, and replacing the sweatband and the liner. There are some stains we cannot remove and we cannot patch holes. If your hat is less than a 15X quality you will need to contact an individual renovator. This is my 32 year old 30X Diamond Horseshoe Stetson... after taking it to them and talking to them , I bought a new one! As well as had them clean & put a new liner and band in. But,nNothing to be done about the stains on this one. But, seriously... is your friend. Simply typing in "cowboy hats restored" or clicking on that link will bring up several outfits that special in such work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancy Shot, SASS #67163 Posted November 12, 2024 Share Posted November 12, 2024 Unless you are wearing it to church, wear it in the shower and hang it on the cloths line to dry. Let Wapsi slap you with it twice and you are good to go. Chancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted November 17, 2024 Author Share Posted November 17, 2024 Chancy I understand your wife has to slap you 5 times with your hat after a shower to get you good to go. Your Friend, Marlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted November 17, 2024 Author Share Posted November 17, 2024 (edited) Took the Chili Pepper Kid's advice and called River Jct Trade. One of the main problems with the hat was the cigarette ash burns in the liner. Well, they said maybe they could fix it or make me a new liner. Mailed them the old liner, saved driving 2 1/2 hours one way. Well I got a call on Friday, yep they can fix it. Will un-stitch the old liner from the Stetson hat center, cut a new liner, stitch it to the old Stetson hat liner center and mail it back to me. Pretty sweet deal and a very fair price, thanks Chili Pepper Kid for the suggestion! And all you other Cowboys for your help as well.

Oklahoma Dee Posted November 17, 2024 Share Posted November 17, 2024 Houston Hat Store I have had all kinds of work done by this outfit. Puttin on a new leather sweatband can be a longer process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
