Sjöröveren Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I want to put a black ribbon around a straw or sennit hat, but I've seen it done 2 different ways. One way has 2 tails of the ribbons trailing off, either to the rear or the side. The other way has no tails - the ribbon just circles the base of the crown. Are both ways correct? Did it change over time, or have regional variations? I like the look of the trailing ribbon, but I'm not sure how to do it. The point at which the ribbon completes the circumference of the hat, and begins forming the tails is the conundrum. Is it sewed? Tied? I should mention that I'm looking for info for both the GAoP era and the Napoleonic Era, since I do both. Did methods differ between these 2 times? This is a bit of an arcane topic, but I have a feeling that there's folks out there who know right off the top of their head. the Fool's Gold Pirates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
