Of course. It can be cleaned or replaced. I know Optimo can clean most liners unless they're beyond repair.

You could leave it and consider it distressing. :wink:
My Akubra lining is looking a bit shoddy these days. Aside from normal wear, I had Starbucks coffee spill into my hat! :shock: Don't ask how!! :lol: :lol:

Very easy to fix. I have used woolite to clean liners in the past and it works just fine. Steve will send you a new liner if that for some reason doesn't work just PM him. :D

'Woolite' is the proper name of a cleaning product that you should be able to find in your grocery store. Just follow the directions on the bottle, and you should be able to clean the stain easily.

Conoces "Norit"? Para lavar a mano prendas delicadas.

Es como "Woolite" en Espan~a.

Buena suerte!

Well done, Flash! Much appreciated.

My two cents: My liner on my Fed is pretty beat up, but I hope to do a "roll over plan".

For example, when the felt on my current fed wears out, maybe transfer the liner/sweatband into a new hat. When the liner/sweatband wear out, transfer it into new felt--in other words, at all times in the cycle of the hat keep something original.

Ergo, chalk it up to distressing and call it a day! It gives you a story, and next time you are at the bar all you need to do is take of the head and say "gee pal, I would get this round...but look at what you did to my hat!" :D

Cheers
