: : Yes, I agree with you. Always better to cut something too long as opposed to too short. I hope I haven't confused Austin in my ramblings! You do have a really nice Akubra Patterson, and I got the idea from you on increasing my brim size. Now if mine would just hurry up and get here! Did you find your ribbon locally? The reason I ask is because I order mine from Stark and Legum, and eventhough they fabricate it with the bow, it is a whopping 12.00 plus postage. Seems kind of high to me for so little merchandise.

: You know, on the ribbon I just wnt with the black grosgrain from a local fabric shop. For $2.00 I made it myself, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. You ordered your's from Hat's Direct in the Nigeria Brown, right?

: Cheers!

: Patterson

Hi, I liked the way your hat turned out. It looks great. How did you tie the bow? Is there a trick to it at all? I'm going to get an Akubra for my brother, and will have a nearby western shop put on the ribbon, but I's like to know the process beforehand.

Thank You,

John D
