Guys,
I recently acquired a nice pice of headgear (WWI British, actually) that has a nice condition, supple leather sweatband which has simply become unstitched from the cap. The connection is leather sweatband to cotton cloth which is then stitched to the fur felt hat material (see pic).
The sweatband is only stitched to the hat at about 30% of the location, and if I did a nice enough job 'restoring' the cap, it would look great. Any suggestions on how to go about this?
Thanks, Lee
