Yes, snipping the stiches (say that three times fast!) seems easy enough, but putting one back on is the tricky bit. Forgive me if how to do this seems obvious to you folks, but I don't want to do something stupid and damage the hats. Would you try to stitch it back in the same spots? Is there a particular size needle and type of thread that should be used?
I would try to use the same holes in the leather much easier that way. Come at it from the inside of the hat first so your thread start does not show. I use ordinary Coates thread. It holds and once you know how to do it....if it needs fixing just redo it. If you are still nervous I would not be hesitant to use a small piece of double sided tailors tape to secure it. That way you can 'trial run it' to see if that is the look you want. I have done it on western hats for my wife as she likes to change up the look.
Black list hats started off as borsalino hats. But David started to get picky about the quality so for the last few seasons they were made custom by Penman hats. Hope that helps.
Think there’s a dedicated thread around here about who made Red’s hats. Borsalino???
On the Penman website he takes credit for making them.
True, as Johnny said. I believe all that has been discussed in that thread.
Would
