Recommendations, suggestions and examples, please, of ribbon colors that pair well with a Natural felt. Thanks in advance.
I think this is the best combination I've seen on a natural.Recommendations, suggestions and examples, please, of ribbon colors that pair well with a Natural felt. Thanks in advance.
I am going to make a hat for myself out of a Natural beaver felt. I am leaning strongly to a mid to high contrasting dark brown.....on both the crown and a 12 ligne brim binding on a modified homburg curl. If interested I can snap some pics to post.Recommendations, suggestions and examples, please, of ribbon colors that pair well with a Natural felt. Thanks in advance.

I went for a dark brown ribbon with brim binding that matches the felt for my only natural coloured felt, my Hornskov Mogul. I like it.I am going to make a hat for myself out of a Natural beaver felt.

While we’re getting suggestions, I’m looking at a Fepsa Black Cherry felt for my next hat. My thoughts at the moment are navy trimmings…

…but I’d love to hear other ideas/see other examples.
I will snap some pics with the Natural and a charcoal grey ribbon as well.Thanks gents for all the feedback. I have a Gannon granite with either (I forget) the Slate or Commando ribbon (ie, purple-ish), and I am drawn to that combination. I was hoping to see a brown ribbon (thank you) and maybe a grey ribbon to see if I might be drawn in either of those directions. I have a tan two-tone on my Phoenix Natural but want to go with something more traditional on this one.
Yes, Robert, I'd like to see some pics of your early ideas for a Natural.

I have found it much more effective to search through the Google function. Type in: Fedora Lounge, then your topicI guess I'm not smart enough to use the search function, but is there a way to not only search threads like "Hats", but also only a "sub thread" like "ask a question, get an answer"?

Full disclosure: I don't understand the method Milandro is using.....so I revert.Once I've found my topic Milandro's method is how I search within a thread, tho.

AAAh, thank you.Let me rephrase. Google is preferable when looking for a topic or a thread, but once you are in that thread and want to search for a certain subject or certain post within that thread, I use the FL search function and choose "This thread only."
