It is the only part of the hat that touches you and a really beautiful sweatband touches you in more ways than one. I could say more, but a picture is worth a thousand words. Share photos of your favorites here.

Great idea for a thread, Alan.
And....really starting off with the bar set high.
looks like there are quite a few here already that are clearing that bar too.

They and liners definitely make a difference in the hat

Here is one of mine that isn't really very artistic but is at least reasonably rare. It also happens to be the only sweatband picture I have easy access to at the moment!

Photos from this angle tend to accentuate the impression of sweatband width.
You might also enjoy the widest sweatband contest held a few years back.

That is a beautiful sweatband Garrett. What type of leather is that?

Mike, that is a very unique hat you have there! Very nice. A number of years ago I went quail hunting on the LBJ ranch and stayed in one of the ranch houses. Unbelievable memorabilia in that house.
