A 7X Clear Beaver with unreeded band is a very nice hat,but not terribly rare.A good hatter should be able to help you.Having used Scott Dalsbo's technique myself on a very nice older Borsalino,I can attest that it will work nicely.
I know you're in Texas but you didn't say where;I understand you are po'd at Peters Brothers, so scratch them.
Houston area-Shudde.At one time a licenced Stetson service site.
San Antonio-Paris hatters
Waco-Standard Hatters.
There are more but these come to mind.
