Do NOT use a razor blade to cut the old band off!! This is a recipe for disaster in the form of a cut hat. Instead, use child-safe cuticle scissors with nice rounded edges. Slip the scissors into the band and snip the old stitching. No chance of puncturing the hat, since there’s nothing with a sharp blade being used.

@Mountain Chief I have such a fear of ordering cowboy hats online, super expensive and there's a chance it's those ones that literally just sit on your head and don't even remotely fit on you

@Mountain Chief well I'll definitely look into that! Thank you for taking the time to tell me of your experience. I've just always had such a hard time with cowboy hats specifically I've had a lot to worry about.

I see your video about putting a pinched telescope crease on an open crown hat, but the missing piece is how to open the crown on a pre-creased hat like the Pilbara, so that it can be recreased. Any advice the best way to do that?

We do not recommend re-creasing pre-creased hats.

I wear it in the shower and soak it with hot water. Then open up the crown and mold it any way you want to while it’s on your head. Keep it wet, hot and steamy. Keep wearing it when you get out of the shower. When you’re sure it’s how you want it, take it off and let it dry on a towel. Sometimes it takes a couple of showers to get exactly right. Also, wearing the hat in the shower is a lot of fun.

You can study the craft of hat renovation by reading this book: www.survivorlibrary.com/library/scientific_hat_finishing_and_renovating_1919.pdf Or, we keep a list of hat renovators, some of whom could put a new band in for you, here: www.davidmorgan.com/shop-content/hat_renovators/

What kind of glue? I've always sewed in my hatbands with outdoor thread.

Sewing works fine too but we have found glue from a hot glue gun also binds the felt to leather well.
