A Loose Affiliation of Ribbons Niether Wide nor Thin

[Joshbru3]

I love the ribbon work on that hat, Steve! Excellent! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

 

[Viper Man]

Looks like a Wide Ribbon to me...
the origin of this thread states = "Let's see those kind-of-thin-but-not-really-thin-enough-to-be-considered-thin-ribboned hats."

If you say so, champ. Obviously you're the expert. It doesn't look any wider than the Adam or the Squatter that was posted above it but feel free to call me out if it makes you feel like a man.

That's the great thing about a loose affiliations - everyone qualifies. Brotherhoods and guilds are so exclusive. Here in the loose affiliation, we're all just gathering around a relative term.

 

[Viper Man]

There's a thread for thins and a thread for really wides.
This is the thread for the rest of us.

I'll just go ahead and slip back into the shadows now.

Oh boy... [huh]

Here's my natural VS...

Regardless of the ribbon size, it's a damn nice hat.

 

[Viper Man]

Thanks but have you ever seen a VS that wasn't?

 

[hatophile]

Truly, no. He's an excellent craftsman.

 

[monbla256]

I'll submit another Squatter, my latest one in Black and my Mid-Brown Stylemaster

 

[hatophile]

I really like the black one, Monbla.

 

[monbla256]

I really like the black one, Monbla.

David Morgan still has the Black ones on sale for LESS than $100.00 And they ship in about 3/4 days

Very good point, while I obviously like some VS styles more than others, all of Mr. Fawcett's creations are special . I really like the Natural felt used for your hat and the ribbon colour just goes really well with it.

Thanks for the kind words. IIRC, I asked Art for a 14-16 ligne 'midnight brown' with a 4 ligne binding matching the felt. The ribbon on this hat is exactly 1.5". Is that really considered wide?

Over 1" is wide in my book, especially over 1.25" is a WAR

We need a thread delineating the difference between WARs and TARs and add to that the MARs.
We also need to enlighten everyone on the SABs the WABs and of the the MABs.
But when we get to the TACs and SACs there isnt any MACs.

You guys have way too much time on your hands.

Josh, Thanks! I like it too.

BTW the ribbon on this Mayser measures in at 7/8 of an inch. My Borsalino Alessandria ribbon measures in at 3/8 of an inch.

MARs > 3/8 inch < 1 inch ?

 

[mayserwegener]

The ribbon on this Wegener of mine also measures in at 7/8 of an inch.

 

[mayserwegener]

Same with this Luckenwalder Hutfabrik Velour. I have a few other hats (Italian, German, Austrian) with this ribbon width.

 

[zetwal]

Are you sure this is 3/8 of an inch? It looks wider than that to me.
