Poll: Favorite Ribbon Width

[zetwal]

As far as fedoras go, What is your favorite ribbon width?

It's still very early in the voting, but thus far this one is shaping up to be something other than a bell curve. Interesting -

And where are the thin ribbon aficionados?

There should be an option to not prefer thick or thin or middle. I think it all depends on the hat. I really like wide ribbons, but I adore the open road types I have seen here too.

After putting up the poll it occured to me that additional broad categories would be good too. I wasn't able to edit the poll however.

I hope this level of specificity won't prevent people from responding. Most of us like a good range of things but many do tend to have preferences.

We appear to have balanced out.

It did at bit. It's not quite the bell curve we typically see, but it isn't flat either. Thus far 65% are 1 3/8 or more, while only 35% are 1 1/4 or less.

Just a bump in case you haven't yet voted.

I just can't handle a wide ribbon. To my eyes, a hat with a wide ribbon shouts "conventional" and "businessman" or "1940s and 50s," and harks back to the days when every businessman had a mandatory hat. When I put on a hat with a wide ribbon, I see it doesn't work for me.

A narrow ribbon is more rakish, which is an effect I like. Borsalino's ribbon size, the 1 1/4 inch, is my favorite so far.

Depends on the hat, doesn't it? But generally, I like medium widths, leaning towards the wider side of the center.

You know, I should put up a poll. "What's with all these polls lately?", it could be called. Seriously, I wonder what's up. A ton of polls these last couple of weeks. More than I've ever seen before.

Cheers,
