Felt ribbon?
Art does some nice felt ribbons but you are restricted to what gets trimmed off the brim when he makes your hat or someone else' using the same color felt. My forest green hat began life with a regular ribbon and got upgraded when I visited him and saw the cut off piece of forest green felt... -
