I was weighing if it was worth the cost to repair, but decided it was to fine a hat to let it go or trust to my experimental sewing skills.The Mallory is a beauty! Glad you were able to extend it's life with the new sweatband.
That's a beauty, Jeff!A Portis Super-Lux beaver mix this morning.

Thank you, sir.That's a beauty, Jeff!
Another stellar hat, Alan. Impossible to resist if they come along.Looking back at my selfie from this morning, it appears the bleak January weather is making me weary. I decided to perk up the day with this antique velour hat. Manufacturer's labels are no longer present but I am quite certain this hat was made by Anton Peschel and from the "made in Austria" mark on the original sweatband, likely before WWI - two decades before the AP for Oviatt's hat posted earlier this week. It has traveled through a number of esteemed hat collectors - retaining its original detached sweatband for historical reference but with the addition of a new ribbon by Art Fawcett and a new sweatband. The hand of the felt is remarkable, feeling like a hat made from fur rather than from felted fur. To wear it is warming for the head and for the soul.
