Stitching on Reeded Sweat

[Brad Bowers]

I'm sure you can, since JW in Salt Lake makes his own sweatbands, but I have no idea where. I've never had to source them, as the sweatbands I order come with reed and tape already attached.

Thanks for the feed back guys. After examining sweats on a number of hats with reeded and non reeded sweats I believe this Stetson 7X has a reeded sweat that was stitched to the crown through the reed to sweat stitch holes which makes re-stitching the sweat less than a straight forward job for a beginner, Any thoughts if I should try to re stitch thought the reed to sweat holes - I think not, remove the sweat and stitch through the reed cloth Probably doable thanks you Brad for your tutor post, or send it out to a hatter my first choice being our own Art . Even with the big hat companies, hat details differ over the years. I have another 7X, a well worn daily wearer with a reeded sweat stitched though the reed cloth
