As was suggested above, I'd have it copied (good luck finding the color and soft felt combo), and use the sweatband, liner and ribbon from the burned one. Save the burned hat body, keeping it in plain sight as a stern, ever-present reminder so that you never, ever get so distracted that you... stick your (extremely rare and desirable) hat directly into an open flame... again!

Another two cents...
I gather the brim was all that was damaged and I have often thought of the possibilities of a two-toned(furfelted) hat. If you found a complementary felted chapeau with a damaged crown perhaps you could have the brim of it stitched onto your damaged t&j in some invisible, behind the ribbon, fashion[huh]
Just a htought and probably silly bu tit definitely is an interesting thought;)

Oh well[huh]
