in car HAT RACKS

hey get the dog to hold in the back, or if worst comes to worstist get the missus to hold it

Thanks for the helpful input mate, much appreciated!

if she doesnt have any in the sewing drawer you could take it out of her underwear waistband, Thats a WIN-WIN situation.

Yep got one in my GU attached to the interior light over the back seat. A bit fiddley to put in but has worked well these last couple of years.
Well worth the Dollars.

I've got his and hers in my truck - modified the mounting bit a little and fixed them to the cargo barrier facing forward...work a treat.

Then you're the man I'm after ......

Seeing as you used to sell them ....... and advise on care and treatment presumably :

I have an Akubra which fitted me great but hasn't been worn for a few years and now appears about two sizes too small .... ??

Is there a process which can stretch the hat either back to it's original size, or close to it ???
One I have heard of is to use Fullers Earth in some manner, but who knows what Fullers Earth is ... or where to get it ??
I tried some Far North Queensland Earth but that just made my forehead dirty and the missus wouldn't let me back in the house !!!!!!!!!

I assume the Far Northern heat has had this shrinking effect on my Akubra [and some of my other things, too, I think .........] but can it be rectified ?

SWMBO gave me this hat years ago .......... iffen I can get it fixed and wearable, who knows what she may give me next ??

i used to take mine to mad hatters in adelaide ( gone now I think) and they'd clean it, stretch it and mold it back into shape........looked almost new after treatment, but well worn cos it had a hole in the top from constant taking off and putting on...and not to mention the stains they couldnt get out.

I made one ( stretcher) out of timber once ...now i keep the hat out of the heat......

Pedro, I can't help you with the shrinking mystery items (can't even help myself) but hat wise you need to take it to a specialist hat shop and they will steam the hat and stretch it on a hat stretching Gizmo that all specialist hat shops should have.
A mate of mine used to drown his in a bucket of water stretch it with his foot and jam it on his head until it dried...not recommended procedure however.

but Brenton...it makes for a real hat with character

Yeah I paid about that for mine but this one is half the price.
