A Loose Affiliation of Ribbons Niether Wide nor Thin

[mayserwegener]

Are you sure this is 3/8 of an inch? It looks wider than that to me.

Thanks! I meant 7/8 of an inch.

Thanks! I meant 7/8 of an inch.

Perfect mid-ribbon! Resembles the Stetson Wanderer very closely.

Same with this Luckenwalder Hutfabrik Velour. I have a few other hats (Italian, German, Austrian) with this ribbon width.

That hat has real panache - colour, felt finish, proportions and most of all ribbon work. Love it.....

Beautiful.

Thanks, Lefty. I'm rather pleased with my first ever Stetson!

Very nice, Dave.

 

[DJH]

Thanks Hatto! I really like the soft light felt of the Playboy. The styling is rather nice as well.

30's or 40's Mystery Stetson

I'm sure many of you have see this hat already, but I thought I would toss it in this thread as well. I think it fits as neither wide nor thin.....

There's more pictures of the hat in:

1920s-1930s Heather Felt Medium Longhair (Unknown Maker)

I got this hat a while ago, but its my favorite "Niether Wide Nor Thin ribbon" hat.

Josh, That's a beauty! Wears great too!

Josh, That's a beauty! Wears great too!

Thanks very much, Steve!! It so comfortable to wear.

Great hats Josh!

There does seem to be something about that 3/4 - 1" ribbon that makes the pulse quicken. I have a few hats that I should add to this thread. Here is a custom western from a small Texas shop that now resides on another Lounger's head. I think the narrow fedora ribbon is the element that makes this hat.

Thanks, Alan! I do love that deep crease in that Custom Western.

I think my Penney's Marathon has got what it takes to hang around here.

Is there a chart or conversion table from this "ligne term" to inches?
