re: berriboned hats

aren't they Be ribboned hats (be here like a bespoken suit..not really sure of meaning or where the BE comes from.

but Beribboned.. hats make and/or dressed with ribbons.

many hand where made with plaited/braided ribbons (made from fine grass, or even coarse cotton (something like narrow stripes of gros grain ribbon) the ribbons were coiled and sewn together and shaped. now day, you can still find hats made in this style, but often the 'ribbon' is a narrow nylon braid.

my ex's grand mother worked as teen in a ribbon hat factory.. making hats.. (i am not much of a milanire.)

my other obsession
