If it's badly faded when you do the rennovation, disassemble and turn the felt inside out as the underside is usually in better condition.
It's pretty badly faded. The underside is tan (you can see it in the second picture below) and the top almost looks like silverbelly. The sweat band looks like it was never worn.John in Covina said:If it's badly faded when you do the rennovation, disassemble and turn the felt inside out as the underside is usually in better condition.

Well I decided to try and do another conversion of an old cowboy hat. This is what I came up with! What do you Gentleman think?
