Sorry to be a pain, but can you take some photos of what's under the sweat band? Labels and stitching or lack thereof will help.
I will get you some tomorrow I am at work now

Union tag. At what point did Stetson have union workers back. When Stevens took over?
Thanks Tukwila. I tried the warm iron, with steam, and she's wrinkle free.While softer to the touch than wool, cashmere is not super delicate. A light to medium warm ironing should be fine imo. And if its thin and light it may very well breath well enough to be cool on your head except in direct summer sun.
Light showers should be fine. Getting any cap soaked runs the risk of losing its shape, but setting on a rounded hat stand will help as it dries. Ironing is also an option.
I was actually hoping you were looking to sell it! Do you have pics to post, and does the shop have a website?

Hey, guys!
I'm considering buying a fishing hat because my head just doesn't look good with a typical outdoor cap. I found this video I'm wondering if any of you are able to id it for me? I tried to google it for a few ours, but my knowledge of hats is very limited.
It's from a Patagonia product video on Youtube:

Could the hat be replicated by a Sunbody hat from Peters Bros?It will be impossible to name a brand as the dude could have have bought it anywhere., including a shopping mall. (someone may recognize the hat band though) It might be worthwhile checking all the videos in the channel just in case it was sold through the company. View attachment 322814 What we can tell you is it's a straw hat with what looks like a Montana crease (AKA Gus crease) & a brim with a pencil roll.

There's no telling for sure who made the hat without seeing some of it's innards, but you can get one that looks very similar for a reasonable price from Sunbody Hats. They're not lightweight and you may want to swap out the headband, but they like water and you can customize your brim width.Hey, guys!

You could send it to me but that would be expensive with the postage alone! I suggest you play with it yourself....felt is so forgiving. A good steam iron, a press cloth and a bit of elbow grease and you can flatten the brim. The crown if you stay with a similar bash can be taken back to open crown, again, with a generous amount of steam, something round to manipulate the felt from the inside. You could try an old softball. The leather band if at all is likely held by just a stitch or two or even more likely just tension.Fellows I love this vintage Boy Scout leader hat but it is not aligned properly...kind of twisted. Any suggestions on where I should call and send it off to would be appreciated. I am assuming it needs to be steamed and reblocked View attachment 323487 is what you would call it. Thank you Susan
I appreciate the reply...it’s pretty thick and hard felt. I guess if I can’t hurt it I’m willing to try. Thank youYou could send it to me but that would be expensive with the postage alone!

Water and steam are your friend so don't be shy about using plenty.I appreciate the reply...it’s pretty thick and hard felt. I guess if I can’t hurt it I’m willing to try. Thank you

Thank youMake certain you avoid contacting the leather sweatband with steam.
There seems to be something similar to a “Gus,” but the brim is only flanged and possibly has a brim binding. Here is a pencil roll being applied...It will be impossible to name a brand as the dude could have have bought it anywhere., including a shopping mall.
