When I was a tour guide in Alaska, I got this really groovy leather cowboy hat. I don't wear it as much here in Buckeye land because people don't seem to understand hats here, but I will wear it for yard work and such.
Anywho, I have treated it with pine tar and beeswax in the past to waterproof it, but it has been awhile. I wore it out in the rain a couple of months ago and then came in and hung it on its hook in the mudroom. The mudroom is attached to the house, but not heated.
The other day, I glanced at the hat and noticed a little bit of mold growing on the hat. I brought it in and hung it over a heater vent, but how do I kill the mold and get rid of it? Is my hat ruined?
