Thanks guys for the replies! I've thought about it and I think I will continue wearing my Whippet but will add more vintage pieces so I rotate them. I do like the vintage over new. Like my watches, I prefer an original vintage piece over a homage or remake.
I felt the same way till I saw the satain and the sweat band stiffening up. Especially only wearing it for two and a half weeks. I'm afraid by the end of winter the sweat band will be trashed. I'm into vintage watches and wear them all the time so I understand. But I can't get replacement...
Thanks Redfokker! It's been like this for a while. The felt is not soft like the Whippet. I'm not sure how easy it will be to reshape it. I will try when I have time.
I'm temped to pick one up in twany after my vintage Whipped got it's first sweat stain on the lining. The Whipped was mint till I wore it for two and a half weeks straight. The sweat band also feels like it's harder than before especially along the edge near the sweat stain lining. I'm afriad...
Here's my JJ Hat Center lid. It originally had an open crown which they gave it a teardrop. I tried to make a diamond out if it but that was before I knew I needed steam. I will try again but with steam this time.
