Closest thing to that for fedoras or dress hats is the Stratoliner/Open Road style ribbon & bow treatment. Going with the thin ribbon & knot you are spec'ing a "country" style hat as opposed to... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
I backed into the Wanderer specs myself, wanting the bound edge of an OR with the ribbon treatment of a Playboy.

Newby to Forum. New hat questions

Thanks Mike...No, it is a modified Moonstone Fed4. When we couldn't get a Moonstone Campdraft going, I got a used Fed4 in Moonstone with idea of making something close. Instead of going with the typical OR style ribbon, I went with mid-ribbon. Glad I did now that Hats Direct came out with the... -
