HosMan this is horrible. Were you mugged or was it stolen from you after you put it down somewhere!?
Either way this is a crime and you should definitely report it!
I am very particular when it comes to some possessions especially clothing and my hats. I know the hat wasn't that...
Thank you for the responses! The sweatband doesn't look like it is going to break (*crosses fingers*) but is getting worn. But good to know the sweatband could be replaced if needed.
Can someone point me to a thread that gives good advice about cleaning a sweatband?

I recently re-watched (for about the 30th time) one of the best films of the...
Great photos of your Open Roads!
