    How are Ribbons Attached?

    I have a Borsalino that I was Steaming slightly in an effort to work out a crease near the top of the Crown.

    GUYER FEDORA

    I just won the Guyer Homburg Fedora off ebay... I bid, though I could not find any info on "Guyer". It seemed like a very nice hat, can anyone tell me if "Guyer" is an acceptable brand, or whether I just wasted my money?
