Got an antique fur-felt Stetson (ca. maybe 1975 or so) that has no body left and soaked up rain like a sponge.  Odd part is, after the rain it looked pretty good, all clean(er) and respectable.

Once it dried it had pleasing slouch hat shape, too.

Now, to the question: is there anything I can apply to the hat to stiffen it and make it more water resistant?
People like me are the reason people like you have the right to bitch about people like me.

As I told you on the phone before I saw the message, hat stiffener which is shellac. ;D

Mix two or three of them little blue pills in with some alcohol and spray liberally on the hat.  ::)

Well, if it don't, simply turn the bathtub over!
Sorry, couldn't resist that.
Me, I think...ah, heck, getting to old to do anything about it anyway! Is that the correct 'to'? I can't remember, maybe better take 3 blue pills and take a nap, HAH!
Best regards and never stop smiling!

Asked an ER nurse friend what they did if it does.  She says the first thing they try it a necked picture of Hillary Clinton, the next step you don't want to know. :o
