: Fir lite! My hat is manufactured by Baily. It is 10% fir and 90% wool. I got it in downtown olympia. Does anybody know where I can get my hat blocked? It is starting to go lopsided. I take good care of my hat. I brush it daily. Unfortunatly, the people around me dont always feel the way I do. It has taken a beating! Its been thrown, steped on, crumpled into a ball, slapped, beaten, and touched by greasy hands at lunch! Luckily, I sprayed it with scotch guard so the grease didnt penitrate and turn the felt pink. Oh, the crown shrank a bit.

Hmmmm. Well, unfortunately, the wool hats cannot be reblocked - somebody correct me if I'm wrong. I believe this extends to wool blends.

Hey, if you live in Olympia, make the trip to downtown Seattle. There is a hat store on Union street (300 block?) called Bernie Utz Hats. They carry the full line of Stetsons - Ark, Temple, Nostalgia's too. If anybody can reblock your hat in western Washington, it is them.

Cheers!
