Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.

[Bob Roberts]

Yessss! That one! I really like the statement the color makes. My new hat (soon to be on the block) will be going grey with a nice blue ribbon.

Sounds sweet!

 

[Bob Roberts]

Go tone one tone. For sure.

Finally you are getting your hands on that color

Really? No contrast? I like yer taste so tell me why...? And its not the color I was hoping for... but I wanted that hat body so I went with plan "B."

I thought maybe the reddish brown might have been the kangaroo color.

That reddish-brown ribbon looks a lot like the one I chose for a steel gray felt. What I like about it against the felt you've chose is it brings out the red tones.

I am learning so much here! That's to all.

Thx. Thats what I was hoping to accomplish. The burgundys a nice contrast with the grey. Is that a Northwest Burgundy ribbon?

The hat is a bespoke made by Gus Miller of Batsake's in Cincinnati. They may have the same source.

@Frunobulax is also a fan of Gus's.

I normally like contrast, but the green is a tad off.
If you want contrast go for more of a blue toned ribbon
Just the way I look at it though

Mike's vintage ribbon supply is a joy to behold. I found that the burgundy wide width (2"?) which I had to go with on my latest refurb totally changed the look of the original hat. I seem to remember the other ribbons being close in tone. My San Francisco Hatter went from being a grey hat to something much warmer/tan tones.

That's the burgundy I'll be using.

I had you pegged more as a Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill guy.

Or Ripple Red.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Lol. That was 50 years ago. Then I got hip and discovered Mateus and Lancers.

You'll get my Annie Green Springs when you pry it from my cold, drunk fingers!

Did you pronounce that "muh toose" or "mah TAY us"?

 

[Bob Roberts]

May-toose.
