Its prob going to stay the same... new ribbon just wouldnt look the same against the original brim binding. I DO need to figure out how the wind cord is affixed and snug it up a bit.

Today's lid is this new to me unlined Tonak in Brown with a 2" Forest Green ribbon and matching brim edge binding. The felt has a suede like feel to it and the color combination really compliments each other nicely.

You are right Mark, of course. At my age you would think that I have had enough time to grow out of that, kid who cannot wait for Christmas anxiety, not a bit of it.
My wife, Tina, has a cabin style studio where she indulges in her hobby of dress making. Whenever there's something for me that's coming off her sewing machine, I ply her with hot drinks and treats. She's got my number though:
Taking the hot drink and slice of chocolate cake, she smiles and will say: "Thank you, but tea and cake won't get you your shirt any quicker!"
Oh my stars and garters!!! That is EXCEPTIONAL, Timmy!
Spectacular!Brüder Böhm "Böhms Ultima", possibly 1930s and made for the Norwegian Market. This is a really fantastic Velour with a very wide Band/Bow and tall Crown. It was made by the Brüder Böhm Neutitschein / Nový Jičín, Czechoslovak factory. I acquired this Velour from Panos back in 2021.
Victor Böhm's hat manufacturing apprentice certificate (Lehrbrief), issued in 1910 by the Vienna Hatmakers Association (die Genossenschaft der Wiener Hutmacher). Back in 2015 the grandson (Jonathan) of Victor Böhm owner and chief inventor at Brüder Böhm Wien, Neutitschein / Novy Jicin sent me the photos.
That's beautiful, Randall. Gives off Knox vibes to me.
Lovely hat, Perry. Great hat band.

A Borsalino Light Weight in Cobalto color, and it already had my name in it.

Thanks, Stefan, and I agree.
It actually has a stamp on the inside sweatband that I’ve seen on Knox hats. But I’ve seen the same stamp on other brands from this era, too.

Mystery Blue Hat Saturday! Not really sure what it was because there were no tags when I got it and it had some sort of hand tied scarf band and a big white goose feather stuck in it lol
I do know its a fairly heavy navy blue Sovereign felt Stetson something-or-other, with a welted edge. Made up a more appropriate grosgrain ribbon and bow and stuck a bit more civilized feather on. ( I MAY redo with a slightly smaller ribbon... just havent made my mind up yet) Its a wonderfully soft hat and feels great in this morning's 34 degrees. Not the nicest hat on the wall, but it checks the box on the "blue hat" column

Blue hat...did I hear someone say blue hat ? Lol.
Here's my blue hat today... a Biltmore Rondelay long hair fedora made in Canada. Not really the shape hat I prefer but I simply couldn't pass it up as I don't see alot of long hair BLUE hats.

That is a FINE looking hat, Rick. Personally, I think it looks great with that band, and yes, it definitely would check my "blue hat" box. And kudos on the great matchup with the sweater-jac!
