Flanging Stetson Soft Hats Postcard
Title
Flanging Stetson Soft Hats Postcard
Description
The edges of certain Stetson hats get curled at the Flanging Department of the John B. Stetson Company in Philadelphia. The edges of the hats are dampened then curled with a heated iron. It is placed on a hollow wooden form under a hugh [sic] bag of sand resting on a steam-heated table. The hot bag is allowed to descend, and in a few minutes shapes the brim.
