Akubra repairs

If you have an Akubra hat that’s been damaged in some way I can bring it back to life for you. I provide the following services. I can do the following.

-Stretch hats that have shrunk in size

-Replace sweatbands inside the hat to fit you again

-Reblock hats that have lost their shape

-Remove minor stains

-Ask me what else I can do for your hat, I have patched holes, replaced linings and whatever you need to make it like new.

Here is a sample of my work.

This is a hat from Hamish, it came in to the studio with a bit of wear and tear from one or two too many parties as seen in the first row. Lost band and pretty squashed. The second row shows a neat reblocked shape, a new sweatband inside and a neat horsehair band on the outside. I am very happy with the results of this project.
