What's going on in the front of the sweatband? Is that a replacement piece sewn in for a bit of leather that deteriorated or does it look original to the hat and provides protection to the front of the hat like the Borsalino corrugated section?
Personally, I've never seen it before. It's executed extremely cleanly though for sure

Finally getting out for coffee this morning for the first time since tuesday and the little hospital adventure. (Foot and leg are doing much better). Figured it was appropriate to sport the little Marathon that I worked on while laid up. SO glad I figured out how the save the origional hatband..... that little spacship is just so cute. Note to anyone attempting a similar theraputic hat remodel..... be very careful when sewing on sweatbands or ribbons while on heavy medication with blurry eyes.... needles are sharp

Is that a SWI? (Sewing while intoxicated)

Good to see you survived the bloodletting,. : ) Do you think this hat is a Stratoliner copycat? That's what the jet makes me think of. Cool hat.

Modern Sovereign. Walked through a spiderweb getting down here to take these photos and it took me a half hour to clean up the mess. Got one more Sovereign for tomorrow and then I'll figure out what I want to wear next. I'm going through all my hats, wearing them all for a day, making sure I have them properly documented, figuring out which if any need to find new homes.

Are you sure that one is a Stratoliner? The vintage ones I own are more akin to an Open Road with a thin ribbon and thin brim binding.

Modern Stetson may have decided to reuse the name for a different style though...?

Nope, it's not. I was typing and not thinking lol. It's a Sovereign. I'm going to go back and edit the original post. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Crowns way lower that a Stratoliner ( particularly the older ones). Think its just one of the late 50s, early 60's Space and Jet craze. Ive got a few older Resistol short brim fedora models that are named after Commercial Jet Liners from the period. Different but cool in its own way
