The crease was backwards or the ribbon was on the 'wrong' side? If the former, I've got nothing. But the latter commonly occurs in editing when the film (or video as it were) is flipped to change directions. -

Well, the generic answer from this non-hatmaker: appears to be yes. Scientific Hat Finishing describes some variation on techniques for 'napped' felts and velours. https://archive.org/details/scientifichatfin00erma/page/74 -

Try dropping a note to Tim at Alley Kat, he posted on Instagram this AM that he just picked up a haul of vintage ribbon including some black 6ply. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5HfQEVBDZU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link -
Looking for hat information?
I don't know of any off the rack hats with a 5" brim. Knudsen and Last Best West offer them on custom hats. I'd imagine Buckaroo as well. -

Options to fill "the gap"

The age & possible value of a Stetson hat?
Most hats didn't have a name embossed on the sweatband. Assigning value to vintage hats is always perilous as ebay is fickle and interest comes and goes in waves. Size 7 is relatively small, but definitely more saleable than 6 7/8. -
