    Replacement Hat Liner

    I make Silk liners to size. Can do either an open seam or closed seam which ever you prefer. Have a few colors left of some nice quality silk that works well with vintage hat colors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Melton 10 with requested pleated ribbon. Swapped out plain black ribbon that lounger didn't want for this vintage grey silver ribbon. Color of felt is a lovely light grey and the new ribbon picks up the stitching on top side of brim binding. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
