Very true. I have repaired and resewn quite a few old original reeded sweatbands into hats. Whoever does the repair, has one shot to get it right because even though the leather may still be pliable, the natural reed tends to break fairly easily. SO the less times that sweatband is folded inside/out the better. I would recommend using basting stitches to secure the sweatband in place, then fold it out once and resew the reed tape to the body. Try to avoid sewing through the reorder tags and if it looks like they might be in the way, remove them carefully and re-glue using a standard hobby glue such as elmers school glue.
