Are there two bows on this beauty? Looks like there is one on the side, AND in back?!
no, just one bow on the side. The back has a little double pleat based on a few vintage styles I've seen, like this:

They're really difficult to find nowadays, and I didn't want to spend 30 bucks to get a ribbon applied by a hat shop (I'm in college. I'm practically broke). So I carefully studied the construction and application of the hat ribbon on the original dark brown one that graced my fedora, and did it myself with ribbon i bought from Jo-Ann's fabrics.

Outstanding work, right there!
