Janette Morgan Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I was wondering if there was anyone who knew if there is a store anywhere in Oregon where I can find a cheap tricorn. If not, it's no big deal, but I'd like to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorg Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Ye can also get felt hat blanks from a number of theatrical sources for as little as $12. Steam em and pin up the brim and ye gots yrself a cocked hat, what we calls a tricorn now. :) Drop a kitten six feet, and she grins...

Hunting Hawk Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Now those are good lookin hats at good prices. Most the hats I seen that cheap looked that cheap. By the way Zorg, what happened to yer Avitar? Ye look kinda squashed, like ye been sat on. I think, therefor I am. Or maybe I just think I am.

Janette Morgan Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hmm... these are pretty good, but I'm under eighteen, so I can't order online. I need a walk-in shop, preferably somewhere in Newport, OR. And I don't think I'd really want to try steaming a hat... sounds dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Bottles Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 No no no no no no no. Steaming a hat is not dangerous at all. I burned my fingers more at the Indian restaurant last night picking apart the flatbread. Actually, that bread was HOT, and I really did burn my fingers. But it in no way compares with, say, accidently touching the oven rack for a millsecond and getting a gigamongous blister. Your fingers will be sore in the same they get sore when they get too cold. But it's nothing that could considered dangerous. "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt.

Steamin a hat is not dangerous at all lass but, ye can git the same effect just by runnin cold water over it till it soaks through. Ye then put it in the shape ye want an make sure it be propped in that shape till she dries. I've reblocked me own stetson that way many a time in cold mountain streams. I think, therefor I am. Or maybe I just think I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Bottles Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Buy the way, if you have a walmart, you can get a wide-brimmed straw hat for five bucks and simply fold up the sides and tie them up. Then you'll have a cooler hat for the summer. I believ Mt. Tudor has a thread where he demonstrates how to do this.
