I don't have a pic handy, but I made one for my hat by braiding three rawhide boot laces and I think it turned out nice. I knotted the ends, wrapped it around the crown and wrapped black thread around where it crossed to hold it together.

He specifically wants a Stetson brand hat band. Sorry I didn't make myself clear. His hat is one that was handed down to him, but is missing the hat band. I call it his Garth Brooks hat.
Apparently, Stetson doesn't make them and they won't sell one directly to any customer.

My grandsons-in-law needs a hat band for a vintage Stetson hat he recently bought. Anybody know where to get a good hat band?
If you don't know how to make a hat band... you earn a hatband. You don't just buy a hat band.

One piece of leather. It is called a mystery braid with 50 million year old "Indian beads" tied in.

Buttoned in back with deer antler button from your own kill.

One doesn't simple go BUY your hat band unless it is going on a backwards ball cap.

I like these porky quill hat bands. I've had on on my Stetson crusher for years.
