OstFront Buttonhole Ribbons

[hatrick]

Does anyone know if they made OstFront ribbons in the narrow width for sewing through the buttonhole on a tunic?? I can only seem to find the wider ribbons which are to wide to fit through the buttonhole?? If anyone has or knows where I can get 3-4 original OstFront ribbons in the narrower width, it would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

Is this what you mean? It's 14mm wide.

Buttonhole ribbons were 25mm width.

Ricks correct.Button hole ribbons were 25mm.Tunic button holes were about 26-27mm wide.A nice snug fit for the 25mm ribbon and too narrow to the standard size award ribbon.Mind you though,you normally see the 30mm ribbon used more often as evidenced by the tapering end of the ribbon where its folded over to fit through the button hole.

The 14mm ribbons look like the type that were for some of the variations of court mounted medals.Two half size ribbons placed together to equal the standard award size ribbon which were approx 30mm.
