    I have an old Western hat that I bought in 1972. The Crown is still in great shape, but the brim, like me, is a little saggy.
    I am glad that I spotted your information so I can bring it back in shape.

      Will it stain a black hat? I’m really concerned about that.

    I have a hat that is starting to go soft. I went over to Amazon to see about a hat stiffener product, exactly the one that the gentlemen is using here.
    I read the Amazon reviews, and some of them say that the product fails. That they did follow instructions exactly according to the instructions on the bottle and that came with the bottle. Any suggestions?
    As well, I read one of the reviews andsaid that he sort another, that reviewer stated that on another UA-cam video, another hat specialist used clear shellac spray to stiffen his hat, and that did the perfect stiffening. Has anyone had that experience?

    please mention the type of sponge to use, as well as where to get the golf hat stiffner. I own a hat the style you are working on, in fact two Stetson Hats, one from my grandfather and the other that I got at a bargain at the Pard's Western Store in Urbana Illinois.

    I collect vintage Stetson hats from the 1950s because they are soft and can be reshaped by hand. It never occurred to me that I would want to stiffen them and don't see the need, especially for the fine hat in this video.

      I definitely see your point,however, I did stiffen mine that way it would be almost impossible for it to bend or get reshaped. And after getting rained on a lot it holds mighty fine.

      Yes, I have used it on wool. But it won't last as long. Wool doesn't hold its shape as well as fur felt.
