Hey all,
I got my Christy's adventurer about 6 months ago, I'm planning to replace the stock ribbon with a more authentic looking one worn in Raiders...anyone know of any site that sells them?

You can get one from me if you don't mind redying it, or you can pick up the same stuff here in larger quantity:

Awesome site djd...do you happen to know if they sell those ribbons with knotted bows already in place? That's what i was looking for...
Hey bigrex, does yours have a knot already?
Thanks,
James

I don't know pal. I've just looked at the site a few times and seen a few of their feds on the boards. They make nice hats from what I've seen. Drop them a line, I'm sure they'll help if they can

I doubt you'll find someone that does, as the "knot" isn't really a knot at all, see:

Hey Chewbacca Jones,
Yes. This is the only color I sell. And the only width. (1-1/2")

Nope, never replaced a ribbon myself. Someone on The Fedora Lounge mentioned that Optimo sells premade bows that you can tack on yourself. Might try giving them a call.

I followed Dalexs' tutorial to make a bow. Granted, it wasn't perfect. But I am a clutz with a needle and thread, so I would not rank it as a very hard thing to do.
