Well, one of the lurkers here sent me an email suggesting I roll my motorman's cap in crater grease to restore a deep, black color. Apparently it also makes a good hair pomade. Not quiet Dapper Dan, but it'll do ya.

I was also informed that Paul Yorkis is still in business. Apparently, they still offer my exact hat and 2 other styles as well as ticket punches, hat badges and some other products. https://www.americanrailwaysupply.com/

I always thought my cap came from Transquip. Now I know.

If I mess up my hat trying to redye it, I suppose I'll just order a new one.
