It had me wondering if the sweat could be removed, trimmed down to healthy leather and then reattached, but I guess that's probably too much to do just for the sake of keeping it all original. Who knows if that would even work or how long it would last?
I suppose anything is possible, but a sweat is constructed with an inner 'lip' that is the part that is actually stitched to the felt. Without this lip, as it would be if you trimmed it, it would look odd, and not have that nice edge where the vertical sides meets the brim.
