I've beaten this hat about too much in pursuit of the original Ford/Nadoolman 'Raiders' abuse and the inner oval patch has fallen out. Any ideas in terms of what I can use to stick it back in place?
I guess stitching would be the best idea, BUT what was used in the first place (some kind of glue I guess)?
Cheers,
Arizona

A few dabs of PVA or fabric glue should do the trick. They don't stitch the patch on so why should you?

There is a product called stitch witch (I think that's what its called) it comes on a roll like scotch tape. You just tear it off and iron it between the patch and the hat. It melts and will hold the patch on same as glue. If you ever needed to pull it off for some reason you can. It doesn't hurt the fabric. I used it when I was in the army to flatten my pockets for that crisp look. You can get it at any fabric store or walmart.

You can get it in liquid form now, Indycop. It comes in a small round bottle and is a clear liquid.
A couple of drops, a little applied heat, and you're good to go.
