Here's a few pics of my own ribbon replacement work....
Resistol Stagecoach
Another Resistol Stagecoach
The ugly Black Beast, (I hate black fedoras), Akubra Squatter. I hid the stitching on the bow work
John Galt Stetson Nutria conversion. I hid the stitching on this bow as well.
4X Open Road conversion. Ply ribbon with a clean simple look. Just the keeper. No bow. Stitching is hidden.
Knox 15 Westlite. Contrasting OR style bow.

In the spirit of drawing new inspiration from old, please share your favorite iconic ribbon bows here. They are beautiful to admire and might be a resource for those working on a custom project. I'll open up with a few of mine:
Navajo silver hatband w/bow
your turn!
That is what Robert Oppenheimer would have worn if he liked a fancier hat.

Bump. I really enjoyed reviewing this thread!
Those early 1900 bows are now lodged as a really visually distinct style in my mind after having reviewed so many in one sitting.
Terry, I love what you've done with your hats. I'm intimately familiar with some of these hats and had seen most or all of the others in "before" mode.
You've made each one of them very desirable hats with your ribbon work. My hat is off to you Sir!
