Can anyone help me with advice on replacing or otherwise covering over the leather liner/sweat-band of my vintage fedora? Perhaps this subject has been tackled on here before, but after a brief search I haven't found the info I am looking for...
I recently got a vintage Manleigh / Paragon fedora and the sweat band, which I believe is leather, is cracking and falling apart. I really have no technical skills for this sort of thing, but the hat itself is in good condition and is a good looking lid, so I'd like to salvage it, even if it means finding something to paste in over the top of the old band...
Advice..? Links...? Love to hear it. Thanks!
