Thanks,RJR.The sweatband is on it's way.I have to use a ribbon 1"or bigger to hide where the felt didn't fade.I always lean toward the wide ribbons,just not sure yet.

Recent customer request to switch up the crown ribbon. The narrow navy blue pleated original ribbon was unique in that the pleats were stitched all the way around the ribbon. For the replacement ribbon I had this one last piece left in silver blue tone and fortunately matches the binding perfectly. A Gorgeous fur felt and a spotless hat. Has a nice full crown and shapes beautifully.
