I just got an "undeliverable mail" reply. Are you sure your email is listed properly? Anyway, hopefully, you'll read here:
No, there are no stains on the outside of the hat. There is a small spot on the left pinch but I wouldn't call it a stain. I think it is just dust, but would be removeable with a damp cloth and a brush. The only staining inside the hat is water staining on the lining. Unfortunately, after installing the new lining from HJ, I got caught in a rainstorm with the hat and the nice new white lining got water stained. But you can buy a new lining from HJ for about $15 and they're not difficult to install yourself. HJ only glues their linings in, but you can either use milliner's glue yourself or use a loose running stitch to hold it in.

hope that helps!
