The Brotherhood of the Thin Ribbon

[hatsRme]

Fine. Here's one of my collection's best. A 3X Stetson Open Road size 7-7/8, kept in its original box. This is only the third time I have put a crease in it, and I did it for you, Harv!

Smooth as butter! Like a new penny!

 

[T Jones]

Yeah T, your ribbon work is awesome

Thanks buddy. I appreciate that.

 

[T Jones]

Awesome 3X, Charlie. Very clean hat.

Here's a Resistol Stagecoach that I reblocked. The hat had never been worn when I bought it. The crown was pretty tapered up and it originally had a cheesy woven hat band. I reblocked the crown to take most of the taper out and then I gave it a Center Dent crease. I replaced the original hat band with a thin ribbon and went with a Campaign style bow. The stitching is hidden on the bow work.

Thanks fellas!

Terry those are (both) some really righteous ribbon work!

Great job Terr.

Thin enough? :whistling:whistling

I forgot about this thread. Here's my recent project from last week. I pulled the trigger on another hat block and a brim flange. I reblocked the crown and reflanged the brim on this Bradford OR clone last week....I also posted these same pictures in the WHAYWT thread...

Hardly any hat can beat a silverbelly thin ribbon, whether it be the Open Road, the Stratoliner, or a clone of either one. Good work!

Charlie, Perry, Benzadmiral, thanks guys. I appreciate the comments.

Fabio, that looks to be a mid-ribbon. Very versatile ribbon width that can be worn with both casual and dressier attire.

I have an early 50s Strat in that very color .... absolutely gorgeous !!

sort of a robin egg blue .... very attractive

nice score ... congrats

 

[alanfgag]

That looks very much like the one you had... perhaps a little newer vintage. Nice find!

 

[LuvMyMan]

The sky blue Strat...I think he was wonderfully lucky to not have to arm wrestle for that one, what real beauty! Maybe even more so as some times sellers cannot get a decent clear picture on a listing. That hat looks very clean and no issues. Have to wonder how the size and measurements are? whoo:
