I am totally unfettered by any knowledge of repairing vintage hats, but -- I wonder if the original leather band might be laminated onto a backing to create a composite of the original with a stable material. It would be thicker, and that is what you say you would like.
I'll gladly take it! Can't PM here because I'm relatively new, but have bought hats here before. Email is < deleted to remove > (remove the spaces.)
edit: Let me know if it doesn't work out.
Great hat and really appealing features. The double button treatment on the peach ribbon is nice. It brings out the richness of that shade of felt, which I know you carefully considered.
I've been following this thread, and think I'll make a call next week. Your features give some good...
Got them! A little stretch on the noggin and they'll fit fine. As luck would have it, we're pushing 80 degrees today, but I'm sure there will be a few cool days left. Thanks!
