Updates:
The hat has been flanged and we are looking at ribbon colors.
Ain't that whisky felt beautiful?

My favorite ribbons:
Olive Draub

Pewter:

Brown with a violet sheen:

Let me know what you're thinking. I am leaning toward pewter.

Thanks,
Gabe

I like a bit more contrast, like dark brown or copper/bronze. Do you have anything like that?

Here's a larger darker ribbon. I want to go with a playboy style ribbon treatment.

Oh, Man. I love that hat. I'm thinking dark green ribbon, but that's just me.

I do too, so that pewter caught my eye (though I'd go with a wider ribbon if it was possible). Then again, that ribbon in post #686 is just about perfect for my tastes...what size is that hat again?

All look good but I'm with tropicalbob and wonder how a dark green would look.

I like the pewter a lot! Tim is going to pin it to the hat so I can get a better look at it. Loden green is another ribbon color Tim sent though I lost the photo so I can't post it. I am very excited about this hat. The whisky felt is gorgeous in the photos so far. I'm going with a thin ribbon. I think it will accentuate this hat's dimensions.

Yep, I think Loden Green would work well with the Whiskey felt. Speaking of which, I don't want to over-sell it but I think you'll like the Whiskey felt when you finally see it in-person; in bright light the fibers reflect the light in wonderful ways.

This is a CRM in Whiskey.

Here's a few pics of the pewter ribbon just pinned into place. I think it looks incredible. Working with Tim is great, very collaborative. What does everyone think of the highlight?

It looks good to me but the key is how you like it.

I really like the pewter ribbon, and the copper-colored "highlight" really works for me!

 

[Gabe Long]

I'm ecstatic with how the hat is coming along. I'm in jeans most days, so I think the blue in the ribbon will work well. The highlight in the bow is beautiful.

It looks good to me but the key is how you like it.

#41 ships tomorrow! I'll do a larger write up when I receive it. Working with Tim has been a real treat. If you're looking for a custom lid that won't break the bank, he is the way to go. Supporting a fellow lounge member who does quality work is the best part. Tim cares about the details and I am over the moon with how this hat has turned out.
