Thanks. Not much choice because those ribbons have limited use and small shops only have low quantity and 2 or 3 colours. Need to go to big stores to find more colours/width or go to etsy/ebay.Joao - I'd probably have gone silver or gunmetal with the ribbon, but the ribbon and now work is well done.
Doing it myself probably will destroy something as I don't feel confident in doing it. I would not like to see this hat destroyed, it have been a travelling "friend".I think the hat would benefit greatly from a naptha bath. You must have Coleman stove fluid or something comparable there (white gas, kerosine, or helicopter fuel would probably all work). That and a 5 gallon bucket will help a lot - see this forum for instructions & don't breathe that stuff!
Of course, if you want to ship it to me, I'll dunk it & put a vintage 1" (maybe it is 7/8) silver grey ribbon & bow on it...
Thanks JustinLookin good, joao!
Try sending John Galt a PM and see what he can do for you. He's really good.Help!!
I bought a "Stetson One Hundred"-or so it says on the sweatband, but not on the liner-in 7 1/4, and I need
7 3/8 L/O or closer to 7 1/2...open crown is 5 1/4", brim is 2 3/4"; felt is very thin-and very fine.
Would like to convert to classic fedora styling; I'm on a budget (that I don't like, but tough beans) and can
pay reasonable amount; hat is pretty clean inside & out- is there anyone out there who needs some
conversion work? I can email photos, just get back to me- adhoc.ideaguy@gmail.com
thanks
