I learned to soak them in glycerin for a month,pin it to a board they dry and stay nice and supple,once a month brush with glycerin to keep it that way.I did use that one for a hatband on the Charlie One Horse I wore,along with my Pointer bib overalls,best place I ever lived in them mountains.That's an awesome belt or hatband right there!
