Here is what to avoid

Can anyone see this hat in detail? It is on Ebay now...and LOOK AT THE MOTH BITES on the underside. This hat is junk! Never buy something like this! You can replace the sweatband, the liner, and the ribbon, but the felt ...well this one has "CANCER"!

ummm, no trades for this one Andy..

So you are talking about the lighter spots? For me, those are hard to see. I guess that's one of the reasons I'd be very hesitant to buy something like this without actually seeing it.

I never buys Stetsons with the darker sweatbands, If it does not have the tan sweatbands, I figure it is a newer hat, and of less quality. Fedora
