The Brotherhood of the Thin Ribbon

[bluesmandan]

I bought another vintage Shudde, this time a sage gray. Where can I get a thin sage gray hat ribbon/band/trim? I like the one on my tan hat... it's a hollow 1/4" trim with a center stitch that makes it look like 2 1/8" ribbons side by side. I haven't been able to find anything like it so far in my searches...

You might try Mike at Buckaroo Hatters.

I sewed a simple black ribbon this morning. Stretch grosgrain. Cool stuff.

Blue; Cheers. Love the contrast thin ribbon.

Here is a pic of a VS Stratoliner clone I have with a contrasting charcoal ribbon. This hat gets a lot of wear time.

Best, Eric -

Here's one that Optimo did when they were out of matching ribbon when I sent in the Royal Deluxe Open Road in for refurb...

GTD; Love that Optimo work!

Nice looking hats! My ribbon treatment is certainly not as fancy as those. No bow at all. But yeah, the contrasting colors look pretty good. I also have some stretch grosgrain in brown and in cream. The cream would not look good on this hat, but I may try it with the brown. The stretch grosgrain is nice because it fits snug, and you can easily swap it out with another hatband.

The Optimo work looks really nice.

I forgot about this thread. Here's my recent project from last week. I pulled the trigger on another hat block and a brim flange. I reblocked the crown and reflanged the brim on this Bradford OR clone last week....I also posted these same pictures in the WHAYWT thread...

I really wish this thread would get more action. It's one of my faves.
