Lining coming out of new Borsalino. What to do?

[35mmdelux]

Hello all,

This is my first posting. I've read a few other postings to come up to running speed. Interesting stuff.

I bought a new Borsalino Como, small brim. It looks great. Problem is the lining does not adhere to the hat as one would expect. Not even close to my cheaper Stetson fedora. I'm not going to return the hat because I got a good price on it and because round trip shipping would add too much to the cost. Any suggestions how to fix the lining that does not seem to want to stay in place? Thank you.

Maybe just a few stitches through the liner (under the ribbon) as was done on vintage hats? Sorry, I have no illustrations, but maybe someone else can post one.

35mm, welcome to the lounge.

Was the liner stitched or glued?

It appears to have light adhesive along the leather band in some places.

you can use that points to fix the liner with some glue points.

I have heard of putting the liner in place and spraying it lightly with hairspray.

Double sided tape....

Double sided tape....

In this instance, I too would vote for doubled sided fabric tape.

Thanks for the great ideas -

Elmers Glue... it works great. I unfortunately have reglued hundreds of Borsalino liners over the years. For some reason , they cant use a stronger glue to keep the liners in. sewing them in is too expensive.
