Is this the famous Stewart thin ribbon?

[RBH]

I just came upon this on the Peters Bros site. I visit the site often but had never seen this photo before. This may have been touched on here before but in a search I found nothing. So here goes.

Could this be the thin ribbon we love [in its original style] ? It looks as if the hat is being presented to Jimmy Stewart.

A couple of pics of the hat from the films.

Wow, you may be on to something! Open Road style converted to the Fedora pinch seem about right.:eusa_clap

Thanks for your comments John

I was excited about the photo, it is possible that the hat is one and the same.

I knew there was a reason I liked this type hat (mine's a Borsalino Alessandria). I subliminally associated it with Jimmy Stewart!

That style is my favorite also!
But then again, Jimmy Stewart could make any hat look good.

That is very cool. I have a couple of Open Roads that I bash into a fedora style.

I was just watching FBI story last night on DVD. Like John said RBH you may be on to something. I'm glad you brought this up. I want my Borsalino Alessandria with the same bash. My Open Road has a similar bash.

I think that's the same hat, RBH. You've got a sharp eye. Must run in the family.

Thanks for starting this RBH!

I just won my third thin ribbon hat yesterday morning. my other two are a stratoliner and an allesandria. The Stratoliner have a 'narower' brim than the allesandria and i thought i should look into one with a wider brim. And here it is, now officially called my "Jimmy Stewart" hat:

I think it's appropriate enough. What do you guys think?

oh, i forgot, it's a Mallory (my first one)

Thanks everyone.

I have a Borso Allesandria that is 2 1/2 and my Strat is 2 7/8ths. I do not know why they differ from yours.

astaire, great thin ribbon!

You did well. I believe that the Strats had different brim widths, or so it would seem from post around the Lounge.
