ScottF said:Yep. I have to agree with Jeff, though. I have another '20s black fedora with a black ribbon that has a silvery sheen, and it looks fabulous. After reading Jeff's response (thanks, Jeff), I took out the original black ribbon and put it next to the hat. It's very dull in comparison with the type of ribbon Jeff suggests.
But I feel the necessity to keep it as original as possible, so I'll stick with the original ribbon and liner. It's almost dry - can't wait to start sewing.
Actually in my case the restore ribbon has more sheen than the original (the original is similar to yours). I decided to keep it as original as possible so stuck with black ribbon (same width and bow).
