Anyone Treat their Sweatband with Pecards?

Post by raider 57 »

Not that I thought my new AB needs it, but does anyone ever treat their Fedora sweatband with Pecards? Would it benefit the leather just like shoes,whip falls,etc? Any possible harm? (I doubt it.)
Just wondered what you all have done in the long run.

Hmmm..That's the ticket! Thanks for the research Indiana. Guess I could of dug around myself.

Seems just a light application occasionally would be a good idea.

So if one wanted to clean a sweatband it would be logical to use the cleaner. The Cleaner being what Art recommended to clean a sweatband.

I assumed that was implied due to the context of the thread.

I was just pointing out that you need to be sure that you got the proper product to clean the sweatband. I have seen some stores only carry the conditioner and not the cleaner.
