I fiddled around with the Akubra standard bow a bit.
What do you guys think; Better? Worse? No difference?

Old bow:




New bow:

Definitively better. The original Fed bow look is too tight and hasn't really that nice, fat flying-v shape... Good bow mod there, Sir!

#### BETTER! lol
Really good job.

Yeah, it's a lot better. Looks a bit like mine, although mine has the Flying V.

So it seems...

Yup, looks better!

Keep the new bow.

Thanks guys.
I'll do just that.

the new ribbon defenately looks better,

just wondering where you got it as my akubra ribbon is badly beet up

Ribbon and bow are both the standard Akubra ones.

The bow was just removed and altered.

I bet Fedora could sell you a ribbon if you need it, and it's pretty easy to make a bow from it aswell.

Much better now!

Though to really make a flying V you need to redo the stitching on the very bow as well.

Marc;

That's actually what I did, removed it and ironed it flat. Then, added a more personal look to it. I kind of like the non-symmetrical look to it actually. After all, I tend to go for a ToD look in general and that bow doesn't have such an obvious V shape I think.

Thanks for all the comments.

Wow, Swindy, you did an excellent job with that bow. To my eye, it looks just about perfect. Though I am no bow expert. Changing the ribbon really transformed the entire look of that hat.

Thanks a bunch, Hem.

It does indeed a lot for the overall appearance I'd like to think, and it wasn't all that difficult to achieve. More a bit tricky, rather, when redoing those stitches. I think I'm crosseyed by now...
