Steve B. Posted June 8, 2019 #2 Posted June 8, 2019 Try American Patrol Cap & Canvas, or Society Brand Hats. Both are on Facebook and I'm pretty sure they both do restorations in addition to quality reproductions
dhcoleterracina Posted June 8, 2019 #3 Posted June 8, 2019 If it's just out of shape you can buy hat blocks which tighten (but don't over tighten). If overtightened then the inner band can break.
38Driver Posted June 9, 2019 #4 Posted June 9, 2019 Society Brand did a restoration of a battered Bancroft Flighter for me. It turned out fantastic.
