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.

Stetson 7X Clear Beaver and its cardboard carry case (the vandals took the handle).

The 7XCB is so nice!

 

[Joao Encarnado]

I'm not wild about how I look in this style and color, but getting to handle the 7X felt as I put it on makes for a smile every time.

Alan knows what he is talking about!
