Hat ribbon replacement
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2017 8:57 pm
Greetings all,
After being out of the Indy world for several years, I decided last summer to take out my old Akubra Fed and put it in the sun to lighten the color (which worked fine--it now is very close in color to my 1990's HJ).
The problem is that I succeeded in fading the ribbon, so that it now matches the color of the hat.
Can any of you recommend a reputable hatter that can do a ribbon replacement for me? (I know this is not a big job for a hatter).
Thanks so much.
Joe
