From my great uncle, this hat was made in calgary around 100 years ago and it’s done the chilkoot trail, paddled to dawson city, has surely been stomped into cow shit before, etc
Yes my uncle killed that bear with his bare fists

I’m usually the diy sort, sometimes when it’s not even worth it economically just because I enjoy the satisfaction and experience. I admit that I’ve never fit a hat before, but given this one’s history I have to agree with the other commenters: If this hat really is that special to you, take it to a pro. You don’t want the guilt of accidently destroying something that valuable to you and your family.
If you must do this yourself, find some old shitty hats that you don’t give a fuck about to practice on first, and research the hell out of it, learn and experience everything you can before you even touch that hat
