Of my nine "cowboy" hats. Only one has it's original hatband!

I love using antler or bone in projects. Thanks for the tutorial along with the history.

I'm partial to leather hatbands myself. I have a couple that I rotate between my various hats depending on what boots and belt I'm wearing. I know it wasn't a fashion maxim back then. But, I'm just really OCD about my leathers matching.

Thanks for another video, Santee! Enjoyed this one while sitting on the beach. 👍

Ahhhh yes...the first project I undertook after I started wearing a proper cowboy hat.
I made a leather 9mm ammo-belt hatband with my awl and used an old belt for the leather. Tent-grade twine for the stitching.
Came out perfect!

I love your rattlesnake hat band. We don’t have rattlers here, but we do have crocodiles and I’ve seen many variations using croc skin over the years. Some classy, some outlandish. 😂

When I was younger my hat band was just a plain bandana rolled up and tied. Gave my hat a bit of decoration and gave me an emergency bandana if I ever needed it.

[UrbanKiwiana]

good morning Santee :) for mine as i was a shepherd and worked in shearing sheds., i had different ear tags from heaps of different farms memories of my time in the Australian outback :)

Every time I see Glenn laugh it cracks me up. Made my own hat band, beaded design with bear fur trim it is 11/2 inches wide on my hat.

of you folks. 👍

Thanks Santee for showing us how to spruce up our western hats. I have been getting into the leather workings and found the suggestions very simple but interesting. Just need to find a 4 foot rattlesnake... lol. 🐍

Thank You so much for this video. This is a real DIY project for Old West decor. I am going to make a custom homemade head band for both of my wide brim hats to show my own unique style. Keep up the Great Work. Stay safe.

You like leather ha ha . Beautiful looking hats and bands :) This is something I could have fun with.

[SurvivingAz]

Went horse hair on my felt Stetson, and leather on the straw. I REALLY like that rattlesnake band your friend made you! Might have to hunt one of those up for myself!

BTW, Happy Birthday! (Good to see the Marshall let you out on good behavior! 😜)

[theultimatehunt]

I love your trusty steed in the beginning!!! Good horse!

[jeffgrier]

Looks like a fun project, i might have to make one!

[SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Great video Santee! I visited a professional hatter last week and picked up some hatband material as well as some tips and advise!

[anotherjones]

I've been trying to find a video on hat bands for the past few days! Perfect timing and information as always

[anthonyferreira]

It has also a function. I use a cowboy hat everyday for farm work and if your interior head liner becomes rags (mine was ripped off by my dog) the hat becomes a little bit loosen. Tightening the head strap makes it fit.
Note that today people buy a new or repair the liner, but in old days, poor cowboys didn't had it so easy

[pamelabrida]

Very interesting as usual! My son uses an American flag bandanna as a hat band for his cowboy hat. Thanks again, Santee!
