And, its done! Dugans Derby! After multiple size stripe - TopicsExpress



          

And, its done! Dugans Derby! After multiple size stripe purchases, tried the 1948-51 stripe, liked it, reminded me of the comic version. But, doing the movie version... Had been debating whether to leave the derby clean or do a more battlefield weathering, like Dugan has been wearing the derby for years. And then while gluing the stripe on (which is the obsolete female stripe) I boogered glue on the hat. Sigh... So battle worn look it is! I steamed the sides, so not quite as straight up, then using a small wire brush, and handy dandy Schmere products from Western Costume Supply, of Fullers Earth, Umber and good ol Sweat Stains, Ta-Dah! Very happy with the results! And last weekend, I sewed the patch on the sweater. THAT was an adventure in itself!
