How do you spot a fake leather sweat band?
My "day to day" hat is a Stetson Hutchins that I got for not too much money. The other day I turned over the sweat band to reglue part of the liner and noticed that the sweat band had some strange "cross-hatching" on the inside, like it was rolled over with some kind of tool, or because it's not real leather or something.
The sweat band looks real on the outside, but is kind of thin and stiffer than some other leather sweat bands I've handled.
