    Anyone that has handled enough cloth knows that insects will feast on one material while leaving immediately adjacent material entirely alone - even if both are felt.

      Insect damage rarely eats through one fabric such as piping without effecting the other fabric that the piping is attached to.
      Ouch, there, you disappoint me Ben

        Pieand can you turn down the leather sweatband and take good quality photos all the way around the interior. Thanks.

          to evaluate further your cap can you please show detail photos of the front air vent section and pull the linder down to take good detailed photos of the used grommet? I would be interested to see the used grommet style. This detail is quite important to judge as another key factor as you might know.
          Hello Robert/Ben,

          Finally a relevant question.
          I only ask to collaborate effectively
          Is the photo on post # 114 not enough?
          Otherwise, show me on another cap what you want to see

            There are some who would like to see this thread closed. I should hope that as long as it stays relatively civil, that it is allowed to go where it may.

              I'm disappointed as well, you are usually way more insulting than that!

                it depends where the moth lays the eggs, and the born eats that part then takes flight

                  Well, you are someone I appreciate. Tell me what I could tell you insulting. We do not speak the same language.
                  Maybe something escapes me

                      WWW Antique I'll explain it to you, the moth lays the eggs on the fabric, the larva that forms inside eats the part where it is, then when it becomes butterfly it flies away, simple isn't it? Everyone who collects should know this, it is not the moth that eats the fabric but the larva, is born from the egg

                        I have no idea about the hat itself, but I have been working as a pest controller for 20 years and I can tell you who think otherwise that they are hugely selective with what kind of material they eat first, and it is totaly normal for just piping or board underlay to be eaten to shreds and the rest of the cloth to be completely untouched.

                        I have seen this in museums with moth problems aswell and have made a huge amount of money on that fact alone.

                        So you can put that arguement to rest.

                        I also have a Heer Erel pio visor where it is clear the machine has slipped abit when attaching the sweatband and there are no other holes so I think that arguement is abit hasty aswell.

                        About the velvet band I know nothing as I do not collect SS that much and only have a textbook normal visor to study.

                        Best

                            Indeed, the Lava eats the Fabric, little baby need to grow. And my Point was not what as eaten, but how. Here i repeat it again, i have seen not just one Hat what was rebuild with exactly the same Moth bites, and as soon as i removed the Band, then you could clear see where they kept going. But since i don't think he will remove the Band....it is not much help at this Point.

                            But something else will be. If it not work with Pictures, and also not with sending to Ben that he can have a close look, there is still one Option left. It was good that the OP also posted where it was "found". That was a lot help, and should soon bring a lot more light into the Dark. Would be sad to see a blown up Thread like this with no Ending, one or the other way. Have a bit patience, Nr. 3 should work...

                              Moth nips

                              For the record Moth "nips" are caused by moths laying eggs and their larvae then eats the fibers that cause the damage, they will only eat sources with keratin, its usually traces of dirt and sweat that attract them, so yes they are highly subjective in what they munch on, despite the sarcasm of some here 🙂
