Brown hats...

Odd question:

Does anyone have or seen brown hats with black leather sweat bands?
I'm trying to decide on whether it looks good or not. I don't think I've ever seen one with this combination. Any pics you can post?
Many thanks.

Don't have any to post but why would it matter as the sweatband is inside & out of sight? I've seen plenty of Indiana Jones hats with black ribbon hat bands on the outside that look good. What would a black sweatband matter? [huh]

Until just now, I never thought about it. However, upon checking, I note that this year Gary White has been putting black leathers in my brown felts.

The black bands and the brown ones give the illusion of fitting and feeling...get this...exactly the same! Go figure.

Beautiful liner and thanks for posting it. I have a brown hat that needs a replacement sweat. I have an extra black one but wasn't sure that it'd look nice. Now I do!

Cheers for those of us with a little bit "O"!
I took a break from sewing the black sweat to my borwn hat. Looking good so far!
