[QUOTE="RDPipes, post: 342382, member: 2155"] Well, here even though western wear and boot repair places are vanishing most dry cleaners that have been in business for any length of time know how to deal with hats. In some towns there are still hat/western wear shops that still have steamers and employees who know the art. Being Texas, there will always be hats and someone to care for them. As I mentioned before, I don't wear the felt as much as I use to, so it never gets real dirty except for dust. That particular hat I've had at least since 1990. If you think it's dirty you should see the one I've had since about 1984. Come to think of it I've got boots that are just as old and older but, it's getting harder and harder to find a good boot repair. People think nothing of plopping down $300 -$400 for a new pair of boots nowadays, wear'em out and then go buy another pair. This old man can't and never could afford to do that. I try to take good care of my things and will probably be able to hand them down to my grandchild's kids. [/QUOTE]
