Looking for a hat store or haberdasher or something along those lines. I’ve got a felt cowboy hat that I’d like steamed and re-shaped.

Anybody know a place in VT that might offer this?

The closest place I personally know would be in Saratoga Springs…beyond that, Google is telling me to go to Brooklyn.

I do not want to go to Brooklyn. For several reasons.

I haven't heard of a place like that around here. Montreal might be a possibility, though, closer than NYC. You could see if Henri Henri or another hat shop up there offers what you're looking for. Good luck

Vermont Country Store, a Western Wear Shop or Tack shop could refer you.

Have you considered re-shaping it on your own? It isn't very difficult. They sell inexpensive steam guns on amazon, although I have always used my wife's iron.

Otherwise, the google machine tells me that there is a ladies hat shop in Brandon that makes their own hats so I'd imagine they'd be able to shape your hat for you. Try giving them a call and see if they can help
