| That was wonderful! Resistol is my brand too. Roy Rogers and the Mercury Astronauts were my childhood heroes. It never occurred to me to just stick a new hat in the shower, obviously, he's shaped more than a few. I always use a tea kettle.

| I don't know where you'd get an open crown Resistol any more. That is some good quality felt to be that supple. Cowboy hats now from the big makers are all pre-creased, and have tons of sizing in them. You can tweak the shape with steam, but you reshaping them entirely is damn near impossible.

| That seems like an awful lot of work just to get fancy creases in your hat! But I am a stocking cap kind of guy, so maybe I am just too "crude".

Order a 20X, they are commonly available open crown.

| HA!
I see I'm not the only one who's reshaped cowboy hats by wetting them in the shower and putting them on a folded up towel to dry!!
Really surprising and neat! |

| When you're Roy Rogers you can probably pull a few strings.

| Thanks for posting the video. Who knew Roy Rogers was also a milliner? Might need to make another visit to the Resistol factory outlet in Garland one of these days.
