I recently scored a nice dove gray, wide brimmed Resistol fedora in very clean condition - but it has a couple of problems (photos below). There are some little spots of moth or silverfish damage on the crown. Is this repairable? If so, is it worth the cost?
The other problem is that, while it's marked in my size (7 1/8), it's a bit too tight for comfort and/or sits a bit to high on my head. Can it be stretched or would it be better to leave it alone and sell/trade to someone with a slightly smaller head?
Here are a couple of close-up of the bug bites:
