I can't speak to the ribbon. I've only owned one and had no ribbon issues. I believe the model is both rare and remarkable largely due to the lightness of the felt, but in my limited experience the quality of the felt itself does not measure up to higher end hats.

It is indeed a remarkable hat, but the felt does seem quite coarse and the sweatband and lining materials seem rather low quality as well, so I can't imagine the ribbon would be top-of-the-line. The workmanship on the sweatband and brim stitching seems a bit poor as well, sort of uneven in places and lots of little pieces of thread sticking out here and there.

Akubra is now making the stylemaster in burgundy...might also be a good choice for a ribbon swap.

Does anyone know what this style of hat is called? Also, the inside says "Andrew Forbes, Hatter, Fifth Avenue New York" "Made Expressly for Woolf Bros." and "Deluxe Fur Felt by Merrimac"

Being a lady's lid, I'm not certain, but maybe Esther or Nikki will see this. It most likely wool, as that's what Merrimack was known for. It's a lovely look; Good luck!

Thank you hatsRme- I absolutely fell in love with it when I found it this weekend. I'm just hoping to find out a little more info. Either way, I think it is beautiful.

New software is great and all, but is there any way to get the blackened theme back? This harsh whiteness does not work well with my vision problems.

Nathan Flowers posted this in the Lounge Software Upgrade thread: "As far as the design and color scheme, that will be evolving. We'll likely have a few options, one of which will be very much like the old board, with the black/yellow/white." Give him/them some time to make sure everything works the way it's supposed to, then they can start looking at swatches and furniture.

I hope options come soon. Until then, I'm out. This interface is not at all blind-friendly. The black theme ws what let me view tge site for more tgan a minute without discomfort. Gate to leave because of progress, but te headaches arent worth it.

Moe, can you change the default background on your browser to something more comfortable? You should be able to override the site.

If you have trouble viewing webpages, most browsers have an option to change the colors for all websites, overriding the traditional styles. What browser and platform are you on?

Yes, tapatalk is down for right now. That said, the site is responsive, and works well on mobile devices now, so it's not my top priority. It might be a few days before I get it going again.

I'm using android's default browser. Its the only browser that lets me force zoom large enough to read, but I don't see a setting to change colors. I just put the whole device on the setting that reverses colors, which is great for text, but photos are all negtives now.

It might be a little better now if you refresh, though it's still not great.
