any way to fix a crumbling sweatband?
Hi all
I was out treasure hunting again today and found a cool Stetson fedora. It is old and beat up, but still in decent shape, except for the sweatband. It is crumbling and beginning to fall apart, and I'd kinda like to preserve it. I have had hats in the past with similar issues and ended up just removing ithe sweats altogether, and always wondered if there was a way to stabilize the leather to keep it from further deterioration. I moisturized it with some leather lotion, but that doesn't seem to be doing much.
Anyone have any solutions to this problem? Many thanks in advance.
