I agree with the opinions that on a beautiful, tall hat like yours a wider band seems to go better. Tall crown just strikes me as a bigger canvas for a band that's got some size and swagger to it. A narrow band or ribbon just seems to get lost against that expanse of fur-felt!

I kinda liked the turquoise band. Or maybe a wide horsehair but with some more color and contrast to it than the one shown.

As others have suggested, when in doubt why not get two (or more)? :)

Your right abt the wider braided horse hair. That tall crown could def carry it.

It's a nice hat with some decent options for bands, but I wouldn't call it a buckaroo hat. See this link for buckaroo styles, which tend to have relatively flat brims with low crowns. http://yourhat.com/1gallery.html I'm no expert, but I'd call your hat more of a rancher or maybe a bulldogger style.
