You could try talking to FEDORA. Or you can try this link:
http://www.toddscostumes.com/indy/repla ... ribbon.htm
This will come as ribbon ONLY. You will have to make the Bow on your own.
Cheers,

Or you can contact Marc;
http://www.indyartifacts.de/adventurebilt.htm
He sells the original raiders ribbon (same manufacturer as the ribbons on the screen-used hats) at 10 Euro for one meter.

DJ,
Then I would go with Marc (as jeep mentioned) or Fedora, one of them may even be willing to do the bow for you before shipping it off to you.

You could just remove your current one (assuming its kinda medium browninsh?) and give it bath in some black Rit dye.
Thats how most of us did it back in the day before the really dark stuff came available.
Simmer it for about 10 minutes. You get a really dark brown that way.
Trust me!

Nice job, there. The hat looks like it has a bound brim. Does it?

ehm iam not sure , but i think so,
the brim is smaller than most indy hats, again its just something to fill my head
till i get something better.
