May I ask why everyone is so enamoured with leather sweatbands? I think they are a necessary evil in felt hats, but I don't understand the charm in a cap - I'm not a big fan of that horrible, greasy slick feeling if it gets warm and you start to sweat. They are prone to shrinking if you leave them in the sun. How do you clean a cap with a leather sweatband - dry cleaning? Maybe they give the cap some shape, but on the other hand, like a felt hat you may have to be careful how you sit them down. Is it just a case that a leather sweatband is seen as more authentic, or is there some practical benefit that I don't understand?
