2 inch ribbons
Try ebay. I recently found 1 spool of 23 lignes almond color cotton & rayon ribbon there. It wasn't cheap. -
Post New Hats Here!
You could definitely get away with a wider ribbon. I'd say as much as 23 lignes. I have a 4X Stetson Muleskinner in a Chamois (rust) color with a 3 1/2" brim and a 5" crown that I am working on converting to a fedora. It'll have a 2 5/8" brim bound with 12 ligne ribbon and the thin ribbon will... -
Black Beaver Brand fedora - newly bashed diamond crown

Nutria million dollar bash hat
Wonderful! How many ways can we say "beautiful" hat? :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap A 7" Crown and 4" Brim need a well-balanced crease. I agree with Feraud that the Montana Peak is my favorite for this classic. Could we see front and side views as well as pictures of the sweatband and... -

Optimo visit
Lefty, Those are excellent photos. I travelled to Chicago three to four times a year for nearly twenty-five years and never knew that Optimo existed. Now I know but no longer make those business trips. :eusa_doh: ;) :) -

My new Grafters tan leather brogue Derby boots
Great Derby Boots. I have a pair from the UK but they were made in Italy and have lug soles. THey're as heavy as mountaineering boots. Yours look very comfortable. I wonder how long it'll take to break them in. My guess is not long. You may want to have protectors installed on the toe and the...- carter

Election Night Watch Party--What's your drink of choice?
I drank PBR longnecks back in the day and still do. Just not as often. It was good enough then and it's good enough now. It's a fine everyday beer. Heck, if advertising mattered to me I'd be drinking some top-brewed blackberry-lemon wheatbier in the warm months and a pale ale, porter, or...- carter

Pocketwatches
From ebay auctions (and inspired by Slim Portly) I recently won a 1911 Elgin pocket watch from a seller in Mississippi: I wanted the watch because it is inscribed Christmas 1900 and the seller says it is in good working order. A 15 1/2" flat-link Victorian era chain from a seller in...- carter
