Hat Bands

[jimmy the lid]

Hi, folks. I've been lurking here for a while, but am taking the plunge. First off, kudos to MK and all of you who make this such a great place.

Here's my question...

I'm interested in obtaining a couple of hat bands along the lines of the narrow leather bands that Miller Hats offers to dress up a variety of hats by different manufacturers. I'm also interested in obtaining a pressed feather band like the one found on the Stetson "Weekender" (Miller offers a version of this as well). Miller does not offer their bands separately, and I'm striking out on locating a source for this kind of thing. Any ideas?

Many thanks.

Here's what I'm after...

Thanks for the info, Duane. Unfortunately, the bands in those links are not really what I'm looking for. To give you a better idea, here are some examples from the Miller Hats page for Stetson Gun Clubs:

The leather bands on the "Shotwell" hat and the "Sierra" Hat are what I have in mind. Very tasteful, simple leather bands -- these can also be used on fedoras (as opposed to more of an outback style hat -- see, for example: http://www.millerhats.com/mdressfelt_index/mdressfelt.htm). In addition, something like the pressed feather band on the "Mountain Brook" hat is something I'm looking for -- essentially the same kind of band that Stetson has on its "Weekender" hat: http://www.noggintops.com/page.cfm?p=43.

Anyone know of a source for these kinds of bands?
