Copying vintage hats.....

[BellyTank]

I don't find it hard to accept-
I just don't see it from that pic and looking at other Borsas- not saying I'm right...
I can't see the flaring band either... I can see the usual bow/ribbon configuration.

BT,

On hats with a double bow the front of the bow is a single and the back of the bow is doubled and flared up. Thus, the bow flares to the back.

On the hat in question the bow doubles and flares to the front. That's why I think the hat is being displayed with the back of the brim snapped down, not the front. To position the hat so that the flare is to the back of the hat the bow would be on the right side.

OK, I get you- when you said 'bow', I was thinking 'band'/ribbon-
makes sense now.

Borso double bow

I have a modern Borso that has a double bow front and back (i.e., two full looped bows on either side of the bow).

Hmm... I have acouple with the front and back double bow thing too...

I too have seen the double(front and back) bow on a vintage hat. I like it. Fedora

I've seen the double bow in the front and back too, but I don't think this has that. But I could be wrong. I've been wrong before.
