What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Appreciate the kind words, gentlemen, they are much appreciated. Dennis: The edge is bound with 1/4" vintage ribbon, and the crease is Graham's work. My wife and I selected the ribbon from Graham's cache of vintage ribbons, and decided upon a narrow edge binding to complement the crown... -
