One of my favorites. I've thought about putting a similar ribbon on my Dorer. I'm not a fan of the felted band, I just hate to throw the Sterling in my parts box.

That is such a good looking hat! The ribbon fits the hat perfectly, it has the old West look.

Thanks DD. The ribbon is really a light gray, tone on tone with the felt. But it has some sheen to it in certain light & sometimes photographs with a bit of green cast to it.

I'm not a fan of buckles or hat jewelry either. Or tassels. Guess that's why I prefer the Old West look over most others.

I... kind of like the buckle of the 20x Resistol Black Gold. But I've seen other that would be a don't. The felted band... if it were other hat (like a lower quality hat), it probably would get lost.
Jewelry it's a no.
Tassels I don't mind. Not against them. I like them on horsehair bands.
I love the grosgrain ribbon.
Feathers are a no.

Another Hat refurb. Saved this Resistol from ebay and turned around and sold it.

Looks like you did a similar remake to my Stagecoach, except I kept mine. I am going to have to start selling some to make room for more projects.

Nice work both of you! I really like that ribbon width on a tall western.

Been changing my Stetson 4x a little. I took off the tassled horse hair band and replaced it with ribbon. Flattened out the brim a little.

Beautiful Hat! Nice work. Looks like we share a common passion. I do really enjoy saving a good hat. I'm glad others like yourself do as well.

Another beauty. I like that hatband. It's really a pleasure seeing everyone's work on this site. I would love to more.

Thanks Cornshucker, it is a lot of fun bringing back a neglected hat. I thought I had a weird fascination with refurbishing hats, until I stumbled across this forum. I am amazed at how many people here share that passion. Keep up the good work.

It looks like the Butterfield Express Stagecoach!

It really looks good & "correct" with the ribbon, DD.

Thanks HJ, I like the more traditional look of a ribbon.

DD I like a thick Ribbon with a thin leather or beaded or horse hair Hat Band around it . It looks 1900 turn of the century cool . Great Job
