Stop in for a cup of coffee
Well in preparation for State Championship this weekend I am rocking my best hat. 100% Beaver, hand crafted by Square D Bar J. The guy hand builds them out in Nevada. They are all one of a kind. Clearly being it is the State Championship ya absolutely gotta make the brim just right after abusing it all year. Surely you boys didn’t think the brims just naturally appear that way did ya? We shape them, being it is 100% beaver you have to soak it for a couple of hours to get it malleable again (first pix in sink) and erase a years worth of dog sitting on it, stuffed on dash, tool box tossed on it etc. it is after all, a working hat not a dress hat! So after soaking, you then block it in the direction you want to go and then lay the heat gun to it to dry it out. That is second pix! They never totally comply, it is just kind of a gentle agreement between you and the hat, kind of like a wife, you take what it gives you and like it! Tomorrow will be fun!
