Gotcha. I hear there’s a magician in Mexico City who can make it like new. He has a tonic that regrows sweatbands and vintage liners he gets from goat stomachs. He’ll have it good as new and it will only cost you a tiny piece of your soul.

I say I have removed myself from the fedora "hunt" BUT if such a grail hat, in my size, were to cross my path would I be willing to open the cheque book? That is a tough question and not sure which way I would jump but I have a strong suspicion that if I passed on it the walking away would haunt me for a long time.

Ignacio in CDMX can definitely work miracles, although FedEx or DHL will probably cost as much as the repair. He's a great guy and has refurbished several hats for me. If you had three or four hats to work on it would just about be worth the price of a flight to visit him!

Thanks all for the compliments on the 100. Originally sold in Laredo, Texas. A very nice hat, and a lucky find. I'll be sure to take additional pictures of it.

Posted in the "Ask..." thread but will post here as well. Looking for detail drawings or patent number for the plastic inserts for the Stetson Samsonite 100 Case.

It was Daniel who confirmed a friend's recommendation of Ignacio to me. Thanks, Daniel! Ignacio asks about you often.

Fedora Lounge member Buler replicated these acrylic holders some years back. You might send him a private message.

Buler on here bent some once upon a time. He has a jig & the plastic pieces but just can't get him to bend any more of them...HTH
I takes so much time. I heat the joint area for the bend by holding the plastic over a soldering iron. It needs to be just right, but not too much, to get the bend right. If someone has a better idea/tool for doing the joint heating, I'm all ears. I do have enough plastic left to do around 6 pair.

I understand how you did it with a pattern traced from an original. No problem.

1950's Stetson One-hundred "100". 2-3/4" raw x 6" open crown. Keyhole tag black/gold. Stars crest. Wind trolley. Tan color. Very much like an OR except no binding. Haven't checked behind sweat for tags.
