Something like that is going to have to be custom made. You need to find someone with the special machinery. We don't do any major repairs like that, but I'm sure someone out there has the capability to make them. Perhaps you could start with the major brands like Stetson or Biltmore. Best of luck on your quest. Hi Bill,

Would you have a source? I’m looking for a few dozen leather sweatbands to repair some older cowboy hats. Would you have a source?

Think of it as character. If that doesn't work, you can always fashion a bandana or hat band around it. For future hats, there's not a lot you can do, either. The trick is to keep the hat dry. If you carry a bandana or handkerchief around with you, you might want to mop your brow and the inside of the hat every so often when it gets really hot. Make sure the hat can dry out over night, too. Once the sweat soaks in, there's not much you can do. Hi Mike, I’m afraid the leather is stained for life. Think of it as character.

The sweat has gone through the sweatband, into the leather of the hat itself, darkening it across the front. Is there any way to clean that, and then maybe waterproof it so that doesn't happen again? Thanks. I have a light brown leather hat, with a leather sweatband. The sweat has gone through the sweatband, into the leather of the hat itself, darkening it across the front.
