Simple and fast
This stuff works great . Shaping after spraying it was so easy and it held its shape, I put in it. This was a rapture Stetson hat that comes totally flimsy and not shaped. This product allows you to shape it anyway you want.. highly recommend.

Works, however
Works great! You will require a steamer of some kind however. Can't just throw on and forget it.

Pretty weak stuff
This stuff seems very watered down. After 8 applications on a fur felt hat, it's barely noticeable and the stiffness went away after a few days. Formulation has way too much solvent and not enough resin. Better to use dewaxed shellac.

Good stiffener for felt and straw
I've used this stiffener to successfully reshape a straw hat and a beaver felt hat. Applying the steam and manipulating the shape was nerve-wracking, but the spray is easy to use and holds well.

Definitely a necessity for shaping hats
Not much to say other than it’s a good stiffener, it’s easy to use with the instructions on the bottle itself, good size of bottle too. Makes it easier to shape and style your felt hats

Works great! I had never tried anything like this and so, I wasn't sure what to expect. One of my oldest western hats had been all crushed up at the bottom of a box, for decades. I wondered if I could get it back into shape and order some Bickmore Kahl Wool Hat Stiffener. Wow... it works great, and I now have my old hat back to looking like a hat, again, instead of a crushed up mess -- it doesn't look brand new but again, considering how damaged it was and that it is about 30 years old, I think it is good, and any flaws in the hat are due to age, not product used to re-shape it. I didn't think I would be doing a review and so, sorry, I didn't take a before picture... but I have included a picture, after using Bickmore.

Bought a really floppy crushable felt hat. Wanted it stiffer. Purchased this. Worked like a charm. It does wear out over time but application is easy and quick
