    Yeah, if it were only the stitches showing, I'd be inclined to say just keep it, because usually it's just a matter of the ribbon 'riding up' on the crown. But that bump is odd. It looks almost as if they blocked it once, and then blocked it again a size down and made another brim break.

    Hmm...that....shouldn't be like that. That bump at the brim break really shouldn't be there. The sweat stitches...well, it's not uncommon on modern Hatco Stetsons. It shouldn't really be like that either. Normally you can just nudge the ribbon over those stitches though. If I were you...

    I can't keep up with this thread either! Thanks everyone for the compliments on the Cogburn. Hatco sure does a nice job on these westerns.

    Black Sheep Hat Works

    Jumping back in the queue because I must have one of these heathers. I do like the blue, but charcoal might also be nice. The light grey is tempting too.....decisions, decisions.

    keeping a vintage sweatband supple

    Bob at Black Sheep was going to attempt to fix an unreeded sweat I had on a Borso; but, the holes in the sweat itself had busted so the repair wasn't possible.

    Reshaping Fedora Brim

    Well, the thing with wool is that it doesn't really shape that well. You may need to find some hat stiffener to get it to hold it's shape.
