Ah, my mistake. I see the fabric sweat is sewn right to the felt. It looked like there was a fabric cord acting as a reed right behind the sweatband.

Are there any other vintage hats out there with cloth sweatbands?

I just won an auction for a Knox Vagabond with a cloth sweatband, I will post pics of it when I receive it.

Love these Tuxedo Hats! I kick myself for missing out on a Knox a while back. I guess if I want to actively look for one, especially one of these Stetson models, I should search for Stetson Feather Weight? If I recall, this was an early used term?
