Hat bands  

There are two different styles of hat bands that I make. The first one shown here is hitched horsehair that is pressed flat with braided horsehair at the cross over with a sliding knot to adjust the size. The ends are finished with tassels made from mane hair.

The second style is horsehair hitched around a horsehair braid and left round. The cross over is made with the braid that runs through the whole hat band. The sliding knot at the cross over is made to adjust the size. The ends are finished with tassels made from mane hair.  

This first style is a 1/2 inch wide hitched horsehair hat band. The hitching is pressed flat to create the design you see here. I can create a design of your choice in any color combination that you would like. Below is a detail of the side sliding knot and a close up of the hat band.

$700.00

This is a detail of a different pattern using black, white and terra cotta orange as the color combinations.
 This hat band was inspired by Acoma pottery. The pottery has a very distinct color palette of black and terra cotta orange on a natural white background. 

I can also make a matching set of stampede strings to go with your hat band.

$100.00 matching stampede strings.

This second style is hitched in the round. There is a braid that is made of horsehair that serves as the core to the hitched part of the hat band. The hat band is approximately 3/8 inch wide. There are many different possibilities as far as pattern design. Let me create something special for you.

The sliding knot is used to adjust the hat band size. Tassels are made from mane hair.
