Silverbellies with fading

[Bonked]

Hi Gang I have acquired from different places a Stetson OR. a Borsalino and a Bollman all in silverbelly all three came with a pinkish shade in areas. I am guessing Sun exposure but thought I'd see if anyone has seen this. I will experiment in cleaning the Bollman as it is not an awe inspiring lid. Thanks for your thoughts.

Hmm....The coloring is uneven on the hats? Because Stetson in particular is known for having a pinkish hue to their silverbelly.

That would make sense that the pink is faded out from sun bleaching rather than some pink stain getting on.

Agreed.
