The Brotherhood of the Thin Ribbon

I bought another vintage Shudde, this time a sage gray. Where can I get a thin sage gray hat ribbon/band/trim? I like the one on my tan hat... it's a hollow 1/4" trim with a center stitch that makes it look like 2 1/8" ribbons side by side. I haven't been able to find anything like it so far in my searches...

Blue; Cheers. Love the contrast thin ribbon.

Here is a pic of a VS Stratoliner clone I have with a contrasting charcoal ribbon. This hat gets a lot of wear time.

Nice looking hats! My ribbon treatment is certainly not as fancy as those. No bow at all. But yeah, the contrasting colors look pretty good. I also have some stretch grosgrain in brown and in cream. The cream would not look good on this hat, but I may try it with the brown. The stretch grosgrain is nice because it fits snug, and you can easily swap it out with another hatband.

I forgot about this thread. Here's my recent project from last week. I pulled the trigger on another hat block and a brim flange. I reblocked the crown and reflanged the brim on this Bradford OR clone last week....I also posted these same pictures in the WHAYWT thread...
