Attached is a picture of my version. It is rough, just off the flange. The brim curl needs to be cleaned up and the swoop magnified. Perhaps a bit of stiffener. I know it is coarser than you want. But if you are interested and want just a simple two ply knotted cord I will send the hat to you no charge if you pick up the shipping. There is a full 5" crown, 2 5/8" brim

Completely unrelated question. I have a Stetson western hat that I bought ~20 years ago, and the sweat band (evidentally not leather) is showing its age. Anyone know a shop in central NC that can replace a sweatband? It's not a hugely expensive hat so I'd rather not have to send it off somewhere.
Try B.M. Franklin and Co in Atlanta. They use real leather for replacements, their pricing is very reasonable, and from NC to ATL the shipping shouldn't be a deal breaker.
