Hi gents,
I have an old derby sold by Strawbridge and Clothier in Philly. The hat has a beautiful leather sweatband, no lining, ribbon band and brim edge (excuse me for my ignorance on the correct term).
I’ve had the hat for nearly twenty years, found it in a used clothes shop in Montana, it fits like it was made using my noggin as a pattern.
Anyhow, I’m needing some repair. The ribbon is all either gone, or nearly so. The stitching in the band is also mostly gone. The hat is beautiful, otherwise.
Any suggestions on a good repair person are appreciated.
Have fun!
