I just got mine this week and it has a little of that "puckering". It fits great and that doesn't bother me.
My Falcon Park beaver Open Road clone has just arrived at my office...

Hi Mr. Finch
Is that Undyed Natural? I like the slight heathering on that hat.

I would imagine that if yours has cracked and the ripples have gotten worse, that perhaps the sweat was just a bad one. Have you contacted Parker to see if he would replace it without charge?My ripples seem to have gotten worse
Does anybody else have hat band problems with their FP???? Check these pics out. This hat is practically brand new but it looks like a "bacon" band. Wavy all around, cracking and the ribbon on the back just fell off one day.
That had me laughing out loud.Those Ripples are almost growing Nipples.
Frustrating because it should be done right in the first place ya know?I have replaced three of my own sweatbands and I can tell you that the wavy effect takes place when the sweat is larger in circumference than the crown size, i.e., 7 1/4 size sweat for 7 1/8 size hat. It took me a couple of attempts before I got it right. I learned to carefully wrap the sweatband around the 7 1/4 size block which I use for my hats renovations, and marking it with a pencil before I cut. It has worked well for me. Then the stitching has to be very precise around the crown opening. It takes me a couple of hours but it is better than all the cost and the long wait of shipping it off to the pros. I'm satisfied but wouldn't want to do it for a living.
