Cloth vs. Leather sweatbands.

Leather sweat has several functions. It keeps the shape of the hat or cap. It protects the felt or cloth from sweat and oils on your skin. Once these oils and sweat gets into the ribbon it's over you can not get it out. An lastly a leather sweat is more comfortable on ones head.

Wiping down with a slightly damp cloth is a great option with leather as well
fabric unless its a high quality ribbon sweat, well you cant do that & probably wont find a quality ribbon sweat in a new hat at least
as the fabric sweat is a cost cutter for production these days..
