Good colour band for a Stetson trilby

[Haywire Hat]

Hello all.

I have just bought a Blue linen Stetson trilby and am thinking of adding a hat band because I’m not to keen on the Stetson logo (even if it’s subdued) and I like hat bands.

I’m trying to decide on the colour. I think khaki would look good, but would like to hear what suggestions you have.

Thanks for your help..

Pictures would help. Is it navy blue, sky blue or??

Sorry about that. I thought the weblink linked to the image.
This is the hat.
It is a dark grey with a hint of blue.

This is such a personal choice. Do you want some contrast? Tone on tone? Do you want a splash of colour? What will you be wearing it with? Is this a dress hat or a 'grab n go' to wear with casual clothing? I tend to a tone on tone, minimal contrast so would go for charcoal or a charcoal with a hint of blue or you could go with a navy blue. The link does not work still.

Belfast, thanks for the useful comments. The 'This is the hat' link works for me. Dunno what the problem is.
Think I will go with your charcoal suggestion.

I'd go with something contrasting. My choice would be a blue - either a royal blue, or French Navy, or maybe plain navy. Would pick up on the blue undertones in the hat.

I have more conservative tastes, I suppose. On that hat I'd go with black. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Black would work - hat the hat been a more neutral colour I'd not have favoured it (limits what it goes with - but I don't like mixing blacks with earthtones and such, YMMV), but given that shade of grey I don't think that's an issue.
