(Medal Ceremony) Olive Drab Ribbon
We've searched for years to find just the right type of ribbon to replicate the ones seen on the medals awarded to Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford at the end of the original movie.
The weave and color match exactly what we see in all the reference material available to us. We offer this in two sizes depending on the size of your medallion replica.
1.5" Wide
Sold by the Yard.
PLEASE NOTE: In 2019 we sourced British Military Ties which were the closest we could find that emulated this trim, but they were NOT the original source used for the film. The reason we know this is because those ties are only 36" long and in order to be used as the border for Mark Hamill's pancho, they would have to be tacked end to end to be long enough.
If you look at the screen used garment (which was auctioned off a few years ago into a private collection) you can see there are long unbroken sections of the trim with the only seams being on the corners where the edges meet, and a few sections on the sides where they overlap. Sections far longer than 36."
The original source is more likely to be as we have found, to be sold in long rolls which can then be cut to length. But fear not! We've done the hard work for you by searching relentlessly to be able to offer it to you in our shop!
BUYING GUIDE:
If you're using this as the trim detailing for your Mark Hamill style Desert Pancho from the fourth movie here's a tip that will help calculate how much you will need. Take your full height in inches. Multiply that number by 5 and then divide by 36. The result should give you the amount of yards you'll need. Remember, it's best to overestimate than underestimate!
