I'm in the process of rehabing a late 50s/early 60s cocoanut palm Dobbs, which featured my first sweatband replacement.
I bought the replacement band from this Etsy vendor, sized to 7 3/8 and trimmed to 1.75" wide.
But it was the excellent step by step write up by Brad that made it pretty easy to get good results.
I didn't want t resurrect an old thread, but it can be found HERE .
My first attempt did not turn out too great, but I know where I went wrong and what to do next time. Still, it's good enough to use.
Thanks Brad and the rest of the TFL community for providing such helpful information.
