    Ribbon source

    Funnily enough, I was just looking at a whole table of Offray ribbons at the SF gift show the other week. I know basically nothing about quality ribbon, but they had a whole lot of grosgrain. My dad is actually quite friendly with the Lion ribbon west coast guy.

    Stetson Surplus

    I know I've seen that style of treatment, though honestly I can't remember if it was on a vintage hat or not. 50/50 on it being a custom job. But it's a sweet lid, none the less.

    Black Sheep Hat Works

    Well, you know me, always the contrarian. I actually opted for the charcoal grey. As I told Bob, "I made the mistake of browsing the Pre-1940's Stetson dress hats" thread, originally in an attempt to divine the brim widths of the earlier Playboys (A heather blue Playboy being my first...
