New Buckaroo hat, what band??

[Bob Roberts]

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.

Torquoise and the horse hair. Both.

Thanks everyone - as suggested I ordered s selection of bands from Mr. Moore! I didn't realize they wee that easy to swap out.

Which hatbands did you select to accompany your new hat, if I may ask.

Get a couple & swap 'em around. Why settle for just one?

Very much this!
But if you can only have one I would vote for the turquoise, that's really sharp!

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.

The maker is Buckaroo Hatters.

"Buckaroo Hats" is the hat brand from Major Moore, not the style of the OP hat.

Yes.. the name Buckaroo Hatters is what Major Moore calls his hat shop.
