24 hours after being starched and ironed, the eboshi is actually doing what it's supposed to do, i.e., stand up straight on its own. I'm going to hit it again with more spray starch tonight and again in a day or so just to be sure, then stuff it with paper while it dries.

do you intend to lacquer or otherwise waterproof once you've gotten it into proper shape and stiffness?

(or, is limpness in humid weather expected of a self-respecting eboshi?)

Haven't quite decided yet.
