I just went full filtered water pour on my Milan. And then held the front brim down on and off for 30 or so minutes in exaggerated form until it dried off. Looks like this one should take!I found this thread again, and read it with abandon. Taking both Eric and Anthony's excellent reviews in mind, I have gone back over my new Stetson Stratoliner Milan in Hemp. There are some of the same issues with the ribbon installation, but not as prominent as described. At least not enough to detract from wearing. The overall quality is fine with me, I may have other opinions as I fondle further. It does need some steam therapy however.
