Were fedoras with hatband bow on right side instead of left originally a woman's style or just a standard variation?

Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.

besta luck, -D
Like a brick and mortar store?
Unless you have a real big hat shop, you're unlikely to find any, just because there's not a lot of open crowned hats being made right now to begin with. Off hand I can only think of the Borso Alessandria and Akubra Fed IV. The former might be available in a well stocked store, but the latter is only available from Hatsdirect.com

Saint-Just, thanks for your answer!
Akubra has open crown hats as well. Good hats at a really decent price.
Recently my FP bow loop came a little undone, so I removed it and attempted to replace it using the loose thread. My sewing skills are... well they suck. And after I put it back on I noticed that I had done it upside down-- so that the overlap is facing the wrong way. I'm not sure it's really a problem, but I can't find any loops on other hats that are overlapped the upside down way.
So-- my main question is: is there a reason that the folded loop always tends to overlap the same way, either practical or cosmetic??
