Hat Bands and Pugarees

[English Bob]

There is plenty of Hatchat but what about the trimmings. Does anyone know of any good internet based stock hat band and pugaree suppliers?

Well, interestingly enough(perhaps?)I got a cheap Panama (low budget Cuenca)
locally a little while back, not from PanamaBob, but then I'm in Europe...
I liked the dimensions and style of it- 5" crown/3" brim and centre crease/pinch.
And the price of course(around $10)- this is my 'trial' or 'learner' model.
I reiterate- it's not in the PBob leaugue- but I like it anyhoo- better than the worst available and not an embarrassment-
My intention is to have a play with ribbon and pug'- plenty of haberdasheries and craft shops here in town. I'll post my efforts success/failure when I have achieved something and can borrow a camera. My Wife and inlaws are Indian and have 'indigenous Pugaree and garment making know-how'... we'll see...
Interesting stuff indeed!
This is what it looked like new- it has a slightly revised bash now-

Nice hat, by the way English'!

POSSIBLE HATBAND?



Info given is 2 1/2" wide 29" at its last hole. I think there is adequate room on the straps to bring it in enough to use it as a hatband.
What do ya'll think?

I think it could work. Then again ... I'm wearing a vintage kid's beaded belt on one of my hats.

Like Bob, it could work.

Like Bob, it could work.

The leather on most belts is too thick, the belts are usually too wide & will not fit very well especially if the hat has any taper to it at all. They will usually gap pretty bad.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

It depends on the taper of the block and crease... I think.

Here's one from Great Basin hat co. They are the first ones I have seen to put such a band on a hat, they do mostly buckaroo style, semi flat brimmed with telescope crowns. This band would be too hot for this Texas Cowpuncher that's for sure.

I located this image in the 1902 Fedora conversation (from a Sears Catalog of that year) Based on that, I think it just might work ...

Picked up several beaded hat bands at a craft show from a lady that has been doing beadwork for nearly 50 years. All glass beads.

What Price Glory is selling these RCMP style hatbands out of their eBay store. I was going to get one to replace the ribbon hatband on my Snowy River but found a braided band from Badgery Belts that I like better for my purpose. Seems like a good deal for $18.
