Recently I received a new Balmoral Hat from Mackie, and its quiet nice. I have received a couple in the past that I ordered from Mackie and this time the Balmoral arrived with the two ribbons in the back tied into a bow. Now I know this was done at one time, but rarely do you see this done anymore. I happen to like it this way, and most likely will keep it like this, however I am wondering why not more are ties in bows, instead left untied and flowing down. Why aren't these being tied? Is there any reason? Just wondering.
