Ferrules are used to fasten reeds in the sweatbands together so that the sweatband "bells" to keep the stitching away from the head.

Directions:

1)Make sure the "reed" (plastic wire) is about 1/2" longer than the sweatband.

2)Insert the reed into the ferrule on both sides and then pull the leather together.

3)A few stitches to hold it in place, then use a machine to zig-zag stitch to ends of the sweatbands together. Easy as one two three.

Directions Felt hat stiffener will restore an already stiffened hat or can be used on a new felt hat body. Felt hat stiffener will shower proof your felt hat and if used in a fuller degree water proof it.

1.) Please make sure that hat is clean and dry before applying LekoFelt Hat Stiffener.
2.) Pour a sufficient amount into a small dish and with a soft flat painters brush apply evenly on the inside of the crown first and thenon the upper and/or underside of the brim.
3.) After the application, wipe the hat with a soft cloth and then let dry.
4.) Then put it on the block and steam and finish in the usual way.

These directions are just a guide. Many milliners prefer to block their hat first and then when dry apply light applications of sizing letting itdry between applications until desired stiffness is achieved.NOTE: if the hat seems a little too stiff in some parts where the stiffener has not been applied evenly, saturate a piece of soft cloth with ordinary alcohol and go over such parts smoothly. This will give an even effect.
