That looks great with the beaded band, Jack. Great bash, too. Mine has been laying around unworn and missing the band for quite awhile. I had either removed the band or it came without one, I can't remember which. I think I've toyed with the idea of converting this one to a very tall crowned fedora, but tonight I just threw the horsehair band onto it and gave it a wearing.
Tanbark will bleed with steam or when wet. At least mine did.
Thank you. Original as far as I can tell.
New to me Royal Stetson. I picked this up on eBay about a month ago, and have worked to address the staining on this well-worn, light colored hat. Thanks to a vinegar solution and a toothbrush, much of the staining has been mitigated. It's had a naphtha bath, but I'm still working on trying to get so5 ribbon stains out.
The pleated ribbon is a nice touch, and the felt is excellent. Soft and very malleable.
Cool brim stitching, too.

A Trachtenhut with a Hawaiian shirt? Why not indeed. You're a bold man, Doug [emoji4]. May we see the fusion?
