HELP WANTED WITH A RIBBON REPLACEMENT?

[Razzman]

I'm hoping somebody out there possibly a VENDOR/HATTER can help.

I would like to change the ribbon on one of my hats. However, I don't want to send the hat out to have this done. Postage is too costly for just a ribbon replacement. I would like to purchase the ribbon & bow. I am certainly willing to pay for it as well as the postage. A couple of styles desired are shown below. Size would be between 1" and 2" for the pleated or regular ribbon & bow, and the thin ribbon is around 3/8 or 7/16.
I would appreciate any help and/or suggestions. Thanks.

I changed the ribbon on one of my Indy fedora's and it was surprisingly easy.

I would recommend getting Petersham ribbon as it is a soft, silky rayon that fits well around the crown.

All you need to do is anchor it on the right with a small stitch (under and before the bow is attached), then stitch it at two inch intervals around the top of the ribbon until you get back around.

Making the bow is easy too. Just cut the length bow you want, and use a small piece for the center pinch. Sew the corners down where you want it.
