Baking soda discolored my Akubra Cattleman. Anyway to save it?

Hi.

I stupidly tried to clean a grease stain on my nearly brand new Akubra Cattleman in dark brown color by putting some baking soda on it and then brushing it off after 20 minute or so.

No harm done except one tiny spot of discoloration which I could of lived with.

My perfectionist tendency was to try and brush it out which didn't work so I sanded with 220 grit and that didn't help. Finally I used a damp cloth to try and wipe it out and it smudged the white spot and made it a wider spot.

Was wondering if there is anything I could try or do? Or just live with it I guess.
