Question for the sartorially wise

[pegkerr]

pameladean once said all knowledge is contained on LiveJournal, so I am asking for advice.

I have a lovely straw hat that got caught in the rain. It is no longer stiff, but comically droopy. How do I restiffen and block it? Do I use liquid starch, or . . . ? Ideas?

When my straw cowboy hat got bent out of shape, my suitemate soaked it in a sink full of warm water, reshaped it, and let it dry upside down. Give it a few days to really dry and store carefully, and it should hold.
