Bruno Rock Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Hi guys, just finished this hatband for my favourite cowboy hat, I've made it out from a scrap strip, it's about 9 oz and is about 3/4 of an inch wide. I've take inspiration from the tiny picin the first photo, so tell me what do you think , I'm looking also for other ideas to make Western hatbands, especially period correct! Advices and suggestions are appreciated! Cheers from Italy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrampaJoel Report post Posted February 28, 2015 I think you did a very good job of copying the hat band from the photo. I don't know how authentic it is. Because I just don't know. But it could be that it is very authentic, because a hat band is a personal thing. So all doors are open to those with desires for a certain type of hat band. I do think that most hats from the cowboy era came with just a ribbon for a hat band. So, a different hat band other than the ribbon that came with the hat, would then be a personal item to the wearer. Joel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruno Rock Report post Posted February 28, 2015 Thank you Joel for the nice comment! I prefer leather hat bands instead of riibbons... they look too plain to me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
